Claudio Conterno and Guide Fantino, the wine idols of Barolo
Conterno Fantino – founded in 1982 by Claudio Conterno and Guido Fantino – has become a wine icon in Barolo. As a representative of the modern Barolo style, this producer makes fantastic and accessible wines from the Nebbiolo grape. Fortunately, the two talented winemakers also have a passion for Barbera, that other famous grape in Piemonte.
The vines are in a prime location in Monforte d'Alba, right next to the best Barolo vineyards. The harvest is late, only in October, and the yield is low. As a result, the ripening is long and even, an absolute prerequisite for getting the best out of this grape. Because unripe Barbera grapes, harvested too early from unfavourably located vineyards or from high yields, cause an unpleasant, aggressively sour taste. How different is this beautiful Conterno Fantino.
Due to the ripe harvest and the ten months stay on oak it is a pleasure to drink the wine now in its youth. Preferably with a meal or with a nice Italian ham or salami.

What do we think?: | Jerry: Uitbundige Piemontese wijn met een diepe, volrode kleur en een krachtig fruitig aroma van vers rood fruit (bessen en kersen). De smaak is geconcentreerd, fris en krachtig en eindigt met fijne, evenwichtige tannine in de afdronk. |
