Barolo ‘Sori Ginestra’ | Conterno Fantino

About The Producer

Conterno Fantino has grown to a 64 hectare estate boasting a state of the art winery with stunning views of the surrounding countryside. The estate also produces wines from Dolcetto, Barbera and Nebbiolo.

About The Wine

100% Nebbiolo cru from southerly exposed vines on Ginestra’s marly, calcareous terrain, conducive to remarkable structure and cellar life. The vineyard is at 300 meters above sea level, Guyot-trained, with a density of 2,000 vines per acre. It receives a temperature-controlled fermentation at 28° C lasting 12 to 13 days, after which the wine is aged in oak for approximately 18 to 20 months, before a further one and a half year in the bottle.

Tasting Note

A lingering nose of rose petal and dark forest fruits gives way to a dry but rich and dense body of Nebbiolo fruit.
