Founded in 1982 by Claudio Conterno and Guido Fantino, Conterno Fantino has become one of the leading estates of Barolo. Located in Monforte d’Alba, the winery combines traditional Piedmontese heritage with a progressive approach to viticulture, producing wines that express the character of some of the Langhe’s most celebrated vineyard sites.

The Estate

Built on a long-standing friendship and a shared vision, Conterno Fantino quickly established itself as one of the region’s most respected producers. Today, the estate farms 27 hectares of vineyards and remains family-owned. Every wine is produced exclusively from estate-grown fruit, with a focus on quality, sustainability and long-term vineyard stewardship.

Vineyards and Terroir

The estate’s vineyards are concentrated around Monforte d’Alba, including the renowned Ginestra cru. Limestone, marl and clay soils formed during the Miocene era provide ideal conditions for Nebbiolo. Southern exposures and elevated vineyard sites allow for optimal ripening while preserving freshness and structure, resulting in wines with depth, balance and ageing potential.

Winemaking

Conterno Fantino combines meticulous vineyard work with thoughtful cellar practices. Organic farming has been certified since 2008, while environmental initiatives such as solar energy, geothermal systems and natural water treatment reflect the estate’s commitment to sustainability. In the cellar, careful extraction and measured oak ageing preserve vineyard character and varietal expression.

Wine Style

The wines are known for their precision, structure and elegance. Barolo displays layers of red fruit, floral notes, spice and mineral complexity, supported by refined tannins and remarkable longevity. Barbera, Dolcetto and Chardonnay complete the range with freshness, purity and a strong sense of place.
