Conterno’s Epic 2002 Monfortino
Descended from GiantsRoberto Conterno talks about the decision that he and his late father made to produce a Barolo Monfortino in 2002. What's made this decision so electrifying is that many other producers chose to make no Barolo at all in that year. Seeing this interview, it's not hard to understand why 2002 Monfortino is one of the great Barolos of our time.
