Conterno Fantino Dolcetto d'Alba

Conterno Fantino Dolcetto d'Alba

Very intense ruby red colour with purple highlights. Nice lingering nose, showing ripe raspberries. Appealing, soft flavour, with a finely bitterish aftertaste. 100% Dolcetto grown in high altitude, sand-rich soils resulting in great colour, fruity sensations and an interesting acid framework.

Lifelong friends Claudio Conterno and Guido Fantino founded their winery Conterno Fantino in 1982. The two had long discussed innovative ideas about wine, but were also well versed in classic vineyard management and traditional wine-making skills. In 1994, they built a new modern winery high up in Monforte dAlba, within the Bricco Bastia terroir, overlooking the Alpi Piemontesi range.

The Conterno-Fantino philosophy is firmly based on allowing the meticulous care they take in their vineyards to express itself as clearly as possible in the bottle.
