Conterno Fantino Barolo Vigna del Gris 2018 DOCG 0.75l

Conterno Fantino Barolo Vigna del Gris 2018 DOCG 0.75l presents itself as a firm and refined interpretation of the Barolo region, born from the experience of one of Piedmont's most respected estates, which has made attention to detail and the careful selection of crus the cornerstone of its identity. The wine comes from the Gris vineyard, a historic cru of the house located in the heart of the Langhe, where the soil, altitude, and exposure contribute to defining a present yet elegant tannic structure, capable of supporting the aromatic complexity without sacrificing the fluidity of the sip. The 2018 vintage is interpreted here with a firm but not invasive hand, capable of preserving the initial freshness and guiding it towards a maturation that expresses itself in depth: ripe red fruits, a floral note of violet, a hint of sweet spices, licorice, and an earthy trace reminiscent of the undergrowth. The winery's production approach emphasizes integrated vineyard management, selective grape harvesting, and a fermentation process that emphasizes slow maturation, followed by aging in wood and cellar to enhance the smooth texture of the flavors. Compared to other wines in the same vein, Barolo Vigna del Gris stands out for its ability to strike a balance: it doesn't claim to be immediately penetrating, but rather reveals itself progressively, offering elegant persistence and a consistent aromatic presence from start to finish. Within its lineup, Conterno Fantino places this Barolo among its most coherent offerings, as a territorial reference and a tasting experience capable of accompanying structured dishes or clarifying the significance of an important vintage for the winery. The wine brings to the glass a sober label and style that reflects a production philosophy oriented towards quality, respect for resources and reduced environmental impact, offering an authentic interpretation of the Barolo DOCG denomination and an invitation to discover how a single vineyard can tell the story of an entire region, a description that aligns with the STELT positioning: authenticity, precision and longevity in a form of great elegance.
