Aldo Conterno "Il Favot" Langhe Nebbiolo 2020

The Land: Set in the iconic Bussia cru of Monforte d’Alba, the Poderi Aldo Conterno estate thrives in the heart of the Barolo region. At elevations of 350 to 400 meters, the vineyards benefit from ideal southern and southwestern exposures, ensuring balanced sunlight for the Nebbiolo grapes. The soils—rich in clayey marls, limestone, and sandy layers—impart both structure and finesse to the wine. With a focus on low yields, the estate ensures that each vine produces intensely concentrated fruit. The unique terroir of Bussia is reflected in every bottle, offering a precise expression of the land and climate. The Wine: Il Favot 2020 is an elegant, youthful expression of Nebbiolo, sourced from the estate’s younger vines. The grapes are hand-harvested in mid-October and undergo vinification in stainless steel, with skin maceration lasting 8 to 10 days. Fermentation temperatures range from 24 to 26°C, allowing the wine to extract rich flavors without losing its inherent freshness. Following
