Paolo Conterno

The road leading to this estate is not for the timid, as a series of dramatic twists and turns will test the mettle of the most experienced drivers. The views however are spectacular, offering prime views of Serralunga and its vineyards, including Vigna Rionda and Cascina Francia across the valley. Proprietor Giorgio Conterno continues to produce sleek, stylish wines from his holdings in the Ginestra sub-zone in Monforte. I can think of no better estate than this to recommend for readers who want to explore the subtleties of the prestigious Ginestra cru in Monforte. This producer's wide range of bottlings from this famous site offers something for everyone at all price levels.
