We are absolutely thrilled to bring you this highly sought-after 2018 release, giving you a rare chance to taste Nebbiolo from one of the most prestigious crus in all of Italy. After carefully ageing in French oak, the wine emerges with an incredibly expressive personality. It bursts from the glass with classic aromas of crushed roses, dark cherry and a signature hint of wild fennel and liquorice. The palate is beautifully structured and commanding, delivering a deep core of vibrant red fruit framed by firm, chalky tannins and brilliant acidity that guarantees phenomenal ageing potential.

Why do we love this wine?
Founded in 1982, Conterno Fantino has carved out a stellar reputation for crafting wines that perfectly marry modern precision with deep-rooted regional tradition. Their crown jewel is undoubtedly the Vigna Sori Ginestra, a steep, south-facing plot located in the renowned commune of Monforte d'Alba. The vines here dig into ancient clay and sandstone soils, naturally producing tiny yields of deeply concentrated fruit. Committed to certified organic farming and meticulous vineyard management, the estate ensures this legendary terroir speaks for itself, resulting in a monumental wine that effortlessly balances immense structural power with breathtaking aromatic finesse.
