Conterno Fantino

Conterno Fantino: Barolo of character and great elegance

The Conterno Fantino collection gathers some of the most representative labels from one of the most appreciated Piedmontese realities for precision, depth, and style. Founded in 1982 from the meeting of Claudio Conterno and Guido Fantino, the winery operates in Monforte d’Alba, in the heart of the Langhe, creating intense, structured, and refined wines that manage to combine power and balance.

This selection is primarily dedicated to Barolo, in its interpretations of different crus and vintages, with labels such as Vigna del Gris, Mosconi, Parussi, Sorì Ginestra, and Castelletto Vigna Pressenda. It is a proposal designed for those seeking Piedmontese wines of great personality, with silky tannins, aromatic depth, and a structure capable of accompanying evolution in the bottle.
