Diego Conterno is an estate to watch. Conterno sold his shares in the Conterno-Fantino winery in 2000 and set out to make wines on his own aided by his son, Stefano, reviving a family tradition that goes back several generations. The wines have continued to improve since I started tasting them several years ago. Vineyard sites include parcels in Pajana, Gris and Sorì Ginestra (now part of the larger Ginestra cru), along with San Pietro and San Giovanni, all in Monforte. The Barolos blend the energy and brawn of Monforte with the translucence of traditionally-inspired winemaking.
