IWM has never offered an allocation quite like this!
This is, without exaggeration, the most significant, unprecedented, and complete offering of wines from the legendary Giacomo Conterno—widely considered the most important and iconic estate not only in Piemonte, but arguably in all of Italy. With over a century of wine bottling and 150 years of winemaking heritage, Conterno’s legacy is unmatched.
What makes this offer extraordinary is its breadth and depth:
- For the first time ever, we are honored to present—together in this newsletter—the newest releases of Monfortino Riserva, Barolo Cascina Francia, Arione, and the brilliant single-vineyard Gattinara crus from Nervi. Please note: quantities are painfully limited, and demand will far exceed what we can supply. Act fast—these wines disappear quickly.
- Monfortino Riserva is crafted only in a handful of vintages each decade—a wine of legend and patience. And here at IWM, we rarely release it, nor the other treasured Baroli from Giacomo Conterno, in this newsletter. Why? Because their production is minuscule, and our demand is immense. These are wines we typically offer only by hand, to a mere handful of discerning clients. Today is a rare exception as we were able to get a few extra bottles.
- A carefully curated library of older vintages from each cru, showcasing the remarkable evolution and age-worthiness of over 40 storied wines—from Barbera to Barolo, including rare Single Vineyards and coveted Riservas. Each bottle is a gem of Italy’s rich vinicultural heritage, aged to perfection and patiently resting in our temperature-controlled NYC cellar.
- And perhaps most remarkably, a collection of exceedingly rare, nearly impossible-to-find bottlings, including wines from Pre/During World War II —each a liquid piece of history. These are IWM exclusives, the very wines that set us apart and define what makes us truly unique in the marketplace.
Every wine in this offer, with the exception of the new releases, is physically in our cellars and ready to ship—each with perfect provenance and pedigree.
For lovers of Piemonte, collectors of vinous history, or those seeking a profound expression of terroir and tradition, this is a moment unlike any other. If ever there were a reason to share an offer with a serious wine collector—or anyone you know who truly loves great wine—this is it.
Additionally, from deep within our temperature-controlled cellar, we are honored to make available an unprecedented collection of aged Italian treasures, many of which have not seen the light of day in decades.
Opportunities like this don’t come twice.
