Conterno Fantino Langhe Nebbiolo “Ginestrino” DOC
100% Nebbiolo. Conterno Fantino Langhe Nebbiolo “Ginestrino” is a very lively ruby color with garnet reflections; persistent and appealing bouquet with notes of brier rose and peach pit; on the palate, roundness is balanced by characteristic tannins and structure.
“Conterno Fantino is run with the utmost respect for the Land, Tradition, and Time, in the firm belief that these values go hand-in-hand in guaranteeing wine of the highest quality.”
