A blend of equal parts Barbera and Nebbiolo, the Conterno Fantino 2019 Langhe Rosso Monprà is a beautiful wine that offers a flavorful alternative to the classic wines of Piedmont, made as a pure expression of either one of these two high-performing indigenous grapes. The wine is velvety and richly concentrated with dark fruit, pressed blackberry, earth tones and some leather or spicy tobacco that comes thanks to the oak aging. This wine (with 11,694 bottles made) really hits all the right spots.
