Giacomo Conterno Barolo 1945 (750ML)

93 VM

In any other setting, Giacomo Conterno’s 1945 Barolo would have been spectacular. War era Barolos are incredibly hard to find. Today it is virtually impossible to imagine what conditions must have been like in Piedmont during this period, not just because of politics, but because in the 1940s Piedmont was very poor and much more agrarian than it is today. The 1945 Barolo was pure, sweet and ethereal, not quite as compelling as the very best examples, but still quite pretty and certainly memorable. - Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media
