Product Notes

Paolo Conterno Barolo Riva del Bric is a sophisticated Italian red wine that emanates luxury in every pour. Made from the Nebbiolo grape variety, this wine comes from the Piedmont region in the North-Western part of Italy. It is a powerful wine that boasts an intense bouquet of red fruits, roses, and spices on the nose, while the palate is layered with flavors of ripe fruits, chocolate, and tobacco. The wine has a smooth texture and firm tannins that give it incredible structure and length. It is aged for 24 months in oak barrels, which gives it a complex and elegant finish. This wine is perfect for drinking young, but it will also age beautifully for up to 25 years. It pairs exceptionally well with hearty meals such as roasted meats, truffle risotto, and mature cheeses.

About the Winery

The history of the Italian wine brand Paolo Conterno dates back to 1886. The man, after whom this brand was named, established the House of Ginestra, and he dedicated himself to the growth, cultivation and popularisation of the Italian indigenous grape varietals of Nebbiolo, Barbera and Dolcetto. Conterno understood the huge winemaking potential of the region when he set up Ginestra, because the climatic conditions and terroirs of this location were simply exceptional. Today, the vineyards and the Paolo Contenro estate are run by the fourth generation family members, with the same dedication, discipline and respect to the terroir, which was practiced in 1886.
