Description

The grapes used for Il Favot come from vineyards that, due to periodic planting, have a maximum age of 15 years. The maceration of the skins is limited to 6-8 days in order to extract as little tannins from the skins and as much colouring substances as possible from the skins, so that the wine has good colour and considerable softness.

From this winery
  • Start up year: 1969
  • Oenologist: Franco e Stefano Conterno
Aldo Conterno founded his winery in the sixties, after the division of the legacy of his father James, one of the central figures of Italian post-war. Today the company, a sort of monumental fortress in the center of Bussia Monteforte, is undoubtedly one of the biggest names not only of the Langhe, but around the world of Italian wine. Here are some of the greatest Barolo born of history, beginning with numerous memorable versions of Granbussia, a reserve produced only in great vintages. The current style is affected to a greater extent than before, the contribution of the oak, however, preserving adequate structural strength and a careful extraction of tannin. Read more
