The history of the Paolo Conterno winery begins in the year 1886, when Paolo Conterno, a hard worker with the gift of great insight, used the Ginestra hill in Monforte, subdividing it by type, exposure and soil and began to grown Nebbiolo, Barbera and Dolcetto. He began making superior quality wines, vinified personally in his own cellar, in wooden barrels. Today, four generations later, the Conterno family continues to manage the company founded by Paolo Conterno with the same passion for wine-growing, using the most modern technologies always considering the tradition, in full respect of the territory and the ecosystem, taking care of the work in the vineyard and in the cellar. The annual production is about 80,000 bottles. Ageing takes place today as in the past: using French oak barrels of 35 hectolitres. The result is wines of absolute quality, among which are the 'Ginestra' Barolo and 'Riva del Bric' Barolo.
