Conterno Fantino
In Monforte d’Alba, in the Piemonte hills, Conterno Fantino has stood for modern Langhe precision since 1982, when Claudio Conterno and Guido Fantino joined forces. Their vineyards span famed Barolo zones—Ginestra, Bussia, Mosconi—where marl, sand, clay and limestone shape naturally firm structure.
The farmed surface is around 27 hectares, cultivated with organic principles and a practical respect for biodiversity: Guyot pruning, spontaneous cover crops, careful yields and harvest timing that follows exposure and altitude. Fermentations can proceed with indigenous yeasts, keeping the imprint of each parcel intact.
In the cellar, technology serves restraint: gentle pressing, measured extraction, and ageing calibrated between large casks, barrique and steel. The style is unmistakably Monforte—architectural, long-lined and textural—where Nebbiolo’s tannin is polished into fine grain and the landscape’s quiet authority stays in front.Conterno Fantino
