Vegan: Yes
Typicity: Yes for modern-styled Barolo.
Bio: Aldo Conterno became one of the preeminent makers of modern Barolo in the 1970's after parting ways with his brother Giovanni and setting out on his own. Although his style was more traditional than modern in practice, his sons continue the work with Giacomo Conterno at the helm.
Only copper and sulfur are allowed in the vineyard, wines are aged in traditional large botti instead of the more modern French barrique, and are bottled without fining or filtering.
They remain a favorite amongst wine collectors.
