Barolo Ginestra VIGNA DEL GRIS DOCG BIO CONTERNO FANTINO

From the Vigna del Gris located near Monforte d'Alba, from which it takes its name, this red wine from the Piedmontese winery Conterno Fantino was born. The grapes used for its production are obviously pure Nebbiolo: the vineyards located at an altitude between 300 and 350 m above sea level enjoy a south-eastern exposure and silty soils with sand, very calcareous. The harvest is carried out manually in October at optimal ripeness. This is followed by maceration and alcoholic fermentation in temperature-controlled steel, followed by malolactic fermentation in wood. The final aging phase takes place in oak barrels for 12 months.
