Paolo Conterno Riva del Bric Barolo 2018

From Paolo Conterno, the Riva del Bric Barolo 2018 is a Barolo with pronounced liquorice and black plum flavours, finished with a refined smoothness shaped by 24 months in French oak barrels. Made by Giorgio Conterno, son of Paolo, this wine comes from an energetic young grower based near Monforte d'Alba.

The Conterno family’s story in Piedmont spans four generations, beginning when the original Paolo Conterno started planting vines in 1886. Their seven hectares are centred around the renowned Barolo vineyard of Ginestra, the source of the estate’s single-vineyard Barolo and one of the prettiest corners of Piedmont. Alongside Barolo, the family also cultivates local specialities Barbera and Dolcetto, with fourth-generation Giorgio Conterno running the modest estate with support from his sister and parents.
