Diego Conterno Barolo "Le Coste"

Region and Country: Barolo region of Piedmont, Italy, where Diego Conterno established his own estate in 2003 to craft wines that truly honor the region's traditional heritage. Varieties: Nebbiolo Tasting Notes: Emanating from the calcerous clay soils of the Ginestra vineyards, this Barolo offers an alluring interplay of ripe berry fruits, accompanied by pronounced notes of cherry, pomegranate, and delicate rose petal aromas. The wine presents itself with a resolute structure, underpinned by fine fruit expression that graces the palate with elegance and depth. It drinks beautifully now, especially after a short decanting, but given its Barolo nature, it promises to evolve and improve gracefully for decades to come.  Farming Principles: Organic Winemaking Procedure: The Nebbiolo grapes from the Ginestra vineyards undergo a meticulous fermentation process, with Diego Conterno eschewing the use of oak. Instead, the wine is aged exclusively in cement or steel, preserving its authentic character and terroir-driven nuances. No fining or filtering, ensuring a pure expression of the terroir. This dedication to minimal intervention allows the wine to truly embody the essence of Barolo.
