Description
Conterno Fantino is an Italian wine producer based in Piedmont wine region in the northwest of the country. Located close to the village of Monforte d'AlbaIt, the estate was established in 1982 and today, produces wine from four key grape varieties: Nebbiolo, Barbera, Dolcetto and Chardonnay. The wine portfolio is led by a small collection of Barolo DOCG wines from the Ginestra and Mosconi cru vineyards. These wines are all fermented and macerated on their skins in stainless steel fermenters for approximately 8-15 days and spend 24 months in French oak barrels before aging in the bottle for 12 months. In the vineyard, grapes are hand-harvest to ensure only those of premium-quality are brought into the winery. The fermentation process occurs with indigenous yeasts, with a majority of wines also going thorough malolactic fermentation. French oak is sourced for barrel-aging.
