G. Conterno Langhe Nebbiolo Cerretta 2008

In 2008, Roberto Conterno bought a three-hectare parcel in the Cerretta Vineyard in the north of Serralunga d'Alba. (Cascina Francia is in the far south of Serralunga d'Alba.) This first vintage of Nebbiolo and is just labeled Langhe Nebbiolo, not Barolo. The same is true in 2009. Finally in 2010, the wine was up to Roberto's standards for Barolo and a 2010 Barolo was produced.

In addition to two hectares of Nebbiolo, Conterno's parcel includes one hectare of Barbera. There is also a 2008 Barbera d'Alba from this vineyard.
