Descrizione

Prinsipi Langhe DOC Bianco from Conterno Fantino is an organic wine of the Langhe DOC denomination. Its bright straw color accompanies a clear, restrained bouquet: aromas of white-fleshed fruit, light floral hints and a mineral touch that contributes to a clean aromatic impression. The bottling favors drinkability and balance, without olfactory excesses.

On the palate it shows controlled freshness and a slim structure, supported by a lively yet unobtrusive acidity; the finish remains linear and pleasant, suitable for relatively early consumption. It pairs simply with baked or grilled fish, vegetables and fresh cheeses; it is also suitable for aperitifs when a non-demanding but characterful white is desired. Recommended to serve moderately chilled. Specific production details or vintages are not listed on the label provided here.

Winery history

Founded in 1982 from the union of the Conterno and Fantino families (including Claudio Conterno and Guido Fantino). 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. The "Ginestrino" label is documented in the winery technical sheet (approx. 35,000 bottles for that bottling).

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. The cellar practices modern choices (relatively short macerations, selective use of French barriques) to pursue elegance, freshness and expressive precision. Some of the estate's Barolos are certified as products of organic agriculture.
