Roberto Conterno

Roberto Conterno is the owner and winemaker of Giacomo Conterno, the legendary Barolo estate founded in 1908 in Monforte d'Alba, Piedmont, Italy. He joined the family business in 1988 alongside his father Giovanni, assumed full control after Giovanni's death in 2004, and has since maintained the traditional winemaking philosophy while acquiring key vineyards including Cascina Francia in 1974 (first vintage 1978), Cerretta in 2008, and Arione in 2015. Under his stewardship, the estate produces iconic wines such as Barolo Riserva Monfortino and single-vineyard Barolos from Cascina Francia, renowned for their structure, longevity, and terroir expression.
