The Nebbiolo "Ginestrino" by Conterno Fantino is a typical and traditional expression of the Langhe. Thanks to a rather short aging in wood and careful vinification, it expresses all the elegance, freshness and extreme drinking pleasure of young Nebbiolo. On the nose it offers delicately floral aromas, aromas of small red berries embellished with a touch of spices. The sip is lively, fresh and fruity, with fragrant aromas and a good tasting finish.

Nebbiolo "Ginestrino" is the younger brother of Barolo and was born in the same territory of Monforte d'Alba, where Conterno Fantino manages approximately 27 hectares of Nebbiolo, Dolcetto, Barbera and Chardonnay under certified organic farming. The soils are predominantly clayey and the vines are trained using the Guyot system with low planting densities. The manual harvest of the grapes begins around mid-October and fermentation takes place in horizontal steel winemakers, with a rather short maceration on the skins, lasting 6-8 days. The subsequent maturation will then take place in second passage French oak barriques for 10 months and complete the refinement with a few months in the bottle before being put on sale.

Conterno Fantino's "Ginestrino" perfectly expresses the character of young Nebbiolo, with a pleasant and immediate drink. The moderate use of wood preserves the varietal face of the vine, without weighing down the bouquet with overly evolved and complex notes. In the glass it has a ruby red color, while the olfactory picture opens up with floral nuances of violet, aromas of small berries, cherry and light spicy hints. On the palate it is medium-bodied, with fragrant and juicy fruit, delicate and subtle tannins and a very fresh finish, which closes on slightly spicy sensations.
