2022 Conterno Fantino Nebbiolo Langhe DOC ‘Ginestrino’, Piedmont, Italy

The fascination and journey of Conterno Fantino’s journey, begun in 1982 by Claudio Conterno and Guido Fantino in Monforte d’Alba. From a humble coach house, their 27 organic hectares now yield masterful wines. Joined by family, their passion for sustainable practices and cru vineyards like Sorì Ginestra crafts Piedmont’s soulful Nebbiolos, blending tradition with modern finesse.  Why do we like it? From young Sorì Ginestra vines, this Nebbiolo is hand-picked, fermented 6-8 days in steel, and aged 10 months in French oak. It reveals lovely ruby hue, violet and berry aromas, and spicy hints. Medium-bodied, its silky tannins and fresh, juicy fruit evoke a vibrant Langhe dusk, lingering elegantly.
