Conterno Fantino

In 1982, Claudio Conterno and Guido Fantino joined forces to bring one single winery to life. Alongside Guido stands his wife Alda, Claudio’s cousin; she is the one who interwove the fabric of two families that esteem each other and have grown. Today, their children also work in the winery: Noemi and Matteo Conterno, Elisa and Fabio Fantino.

Piedmont

Piedmont or Piemonte, located in northwestern Italy, is renowned for its prestigious and diverse wines. The region's varied climate and rich soils, particularly in the Langhe and Monferrato areas, are ideal for viticulture. It is famous for its robust reds, especially Barolo and Barbaresco, both made from the Nebbiolo grape, known for their complex aromas, rich tannins, and ageing potential. It also excels in Barbera, producing wines with vibrant acidity and cherry notes, and Dolcetto, offering fruit-forward, approachable reds. On the white side, Gavi, made from the Cortese grape, is known for its crisp, refreshing character. Piemonte’s blend of traditional winemaking techniques and modern innovations offers a rich and sophisticated wine experience.
