Giovanni Conterno, joined in recent years by his son Roberto, continues to make some of Barolo most monumental wines, using traditional methods in an airy, spotless winery. Conterno two Barolo bottlings theoretically begin with identical material (from Cascina Francia in Serralunga) but receive different vinification and levage The normale spends three to four weeks on the skins and then ages in large casks before being bottled the fourth July after the vintage. The Monfortino spends up to 35 days on the skins and is bottled seven or eight years after the vintage. But 1995 represents an exception to this rule, as Conterno made the Monfortino bottling from vines that were less affected by hail. Like a few of his neighbors, Conterno describes '97 as a year for the journalists and '96 as truly great, but with low quantities due to hail. Even though he prefers '96 today, however, he admits that '97 may have at least as much long term potential. The Barolos from both years will be bottled with about 14.2% alcohol, and extract levels are roughly the same at slightly over 30 grams per liter (the '95 is also in this range).
