Dolcetto d’Alba “Bricco Bastia” DOC

The Conterno Fantino winery is located atop a hill overlooking the historic village of Monforte d’Alba, with an extraordinary view that extends all the way to the Alps. Founded in 1982 by two friends – Guido Fantino and Claudio Conterno – the winery makes its wines knowing they have been blessed with great heritage in the form of land and vineyards, that go hand and hand with the culture and traditions of the area. In seeking to attain the highest possible quality from these invaluable resources, they pay great attention to the entire production process, carefully adapting to the climactic conditions of each growing season, with particular attention to the different characteristics of each individual cru. Environmental sustainability, preserving biodiversity, and respect for the land and heritage are the guiding principles in their vineyards, which are organically cultivated (as certified by CCPB).

Located in the Bricco Bastia cru, 540 meters (1,772 feet) above sea level, with south, west and eastern exposures and limestone and clay soil. A lovely rendition of the widely appreciated grape. Aging takes place in stainless steel for eight months, ensuring the wine retains all of its youthful appeal and fresh, ripe raspberry fruit.
