Descrizione

The Langhe DOC Rosso Monpra from Conterno Fantino presents a clear, measured identity: medium-intensity ruby color and appealing clarity with lively highlights. On the nose it shows a harmonious, restrained profile with aromas of ripe red fruit, light floral notes and a spicy hint that contributes to a balanced overall impression without excess. The olfactory texture remains direct and inviting, without artifice. Also suitable for those seeking everyday drinkability.

On the palate it confirms a balanced structure, tannins that are present but not intrusive and a freshness that supports the sip; the finish is clean and of good persistence. It suits a range of everyday dishes: white meats, mushroom-based preparations, not overly aged cured meats and medium-mature cheeses. Serve at a moderate temperature, open the bottle shortly before serving to appreciate the aromatic profile, and drink within a few years to enjoy its characteristic freshness.

The estate manages roughly 23 hectares and has an annual production of about 125,000–140,000 bottles. The first bottled Barolo vintage dates to 1982.

Production philosophy

The philosophy is to highlight the identity of individual crus and the territory through careful vineyard work, hand harvesting and vinification aimed at preserving fruit.

Some of the estate's Barolos are certified as products of organic agriculture.
