Barolo Castelletto 'Vigna Pressenda'
Vigna Pressenda is found in the Castelletto district of Barolo. It is Conterno Fantino’s newest addition to their range of top-quality wines. The vineyard was already recognized for excellence through its past winemakers, and now we’ve seen that Conterno Fantino has only improved it. The vineyard is 350-370 meters (1,150-1,214 feet) above sea level and is southeast-facing. The wines are most similar to Vigna del Gris, and are somewhat lighter, perfumed and refined. The oldest vines were planted in 1969.

Barolo 'Mosconi Vigna Ped'
Conterno Fantino's 2018 Barolo Mosconi "Vigna Ped" is made from the Mosconi cru, located between 360 and 380 metres above sea level in the municipality of Monforte d'Alba. These south-facing vines, planted partly in 1960 and partly in 1999, rest on a soil composed of silt, clay and sand.
The grapes are harvested and sorted by hand. Maceration in stainless steel tanks for 12 to 15 days. Fermentation with wild yeast. Aged for 20 to 24 months in French oak barrels.

Barolo Ginestra 'Vigna Sorì Ginestra'
Sori` Ginestra is Conterno Fantino’s flagship wine. The vineyard is located in the Ginestra district on one of the most important hills in Monforte, if not Barolo itself. It is the thoroughbred of Barolos, and fully reflects its terroir. Located 340 meters (1,115 feet) above sea level, it absolutely benefits from southern exposure, which affords the vines warm sunlight from morning to night. The soil is not sandy, but a bit more compact. The wines from this vineyard are bigger, with much more body, structure, and tannins. The older part of this vineyard was planted in 1971, giving the wine its unique elegance and complexity.
