'The Favorite' Langhe Nebbiolo DOC Aldo Conterno 2019

Among the most representative labels of the Aldo Conterno winery is the Favot Langhe Nebbiolo DOC Aldo Conterno, a wine produced in purity from Nebbiolo grapes, of the Michet and Lampia varieties. The harvest is done in the traditional way, generally between the end of September and mid-October, and after a maceration of about 6-8 days the wine is placed in wooden barrels for refinement. The lands of the Favot estate of the Aldo Conterno company are divided into three crus and are located in Bussia di Monforte d'Alba. Located at an altitude of about 400 m above sea level, they are all characterized by the typical terroir of the Langhe, with calcareous-clayey soil rich in iron and a south-west exposure. The yield of the vines is very low and the annual production is around 80,000 bottles. In this context the classic Nebbiolo vine develops, the flagship of the company from which the Favot Langhe Nebbiolo DOC Aldo Conterno is produced, a wine with an almost transparent bright red color, characterized by a remarkable softness and elegance, finesse, qualities much appreciated by passionate.
