2008 Barbera d'Alba "Vignota"

Producer

Conterno Fantino

History | Winemaking

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 d’Alba, 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.

The Barolo “Mosconi” is a new entry in the Conterno Fantino list, replacing the “Parussi” that is no longer produced. From a south facing vineyard close to the Ginestra, it shows similar characteristics of the previous wine, but is more approachable.
