Red Wine: 2019 | Aldo Conterno | Ii Favot Langhe Nebbiolo

This is the approach for Barolo in its most charming form. So floral, so playful and yet with a profound print at the back. Everybody’s darling with class and pressure. In the mouth, a great charm factor and a great freshness. Very nice creamy length and sweetness.

The grapes used to make “Il Favot” come from vineyards which have undergone periodical implantations, and so have a maximum age of 15 years. The skin contact is limited to 6-8 days so to extract few tannins and more colour from the skins themselves, with the result of getting a well-coloured wine with a remarkable softness.

Producer Information

Aldo Conterno founded his winery in the sixties, after the division of the legacy of his father James, one of the central figures of Italian post-war. Today the company, a sort of monumental fortress in the center of Bussia Monteforte, is undoubtedly one of the biggest names not only of the Langhe, but around the world of Italian wine. Here are some of the greatest Barolo born of history, beginning with numerous memorable versions of Granbussia, a reserve produced only in great vintages. The current style is affected to a greater extent than before, the contribution of the oak, however, preserving adequate structural strength and a careful extraction of tannin.
