The structure and richness of a Langhe wine

The estate

Founded in 1982 by the winemaker Claudio Conterno and the oenologist Guido Fantino, Conterno Fantino is an unmistakable reference among the finest Piedmont wines. Located in the village of Monforte d'Alba, the family estate watches over a terroir that spreads over 27 hectares of certified organic vineyards. Constantly seeking to respect the environment, Conterno Fantino's wines are the pure and refined expression of prestigious Barolo terroirs.
