Current Vintage: 2022
Grapes: 100% Nebbiolo
Poderi Aldo Conterno is one of the great names of Barolo, based in the celebrated Bussia vineyards of Monforte d'Alba. Founded by Aldo Conterno in 1969, the estate is now run by his three sons, Franco, Stefano and Giacomo, who continue the family's reputation for producing some of Piedmont's most elegant and age-worthy wines. Il Favot offers a rather more approachable introduction to their exceptional Nebbiolo.
Named after a historic farmhouse on the estate, Il Favot is made from younger Nebbiolo vines, allowing the Conterno family to showcase the grape's fragrant, expressive side without the formidable structure of their great Barolos. The 2022 vintage enjoyed a warm, dry growing season, bringing generous fruit and an appealing richness. Careful ageing in stainless steel allows the wine's natural perfume and freshness to take centre stage.
Ripe red cherry, raspberry and wild strawberry meet rose petal, dried herbs and a hint of liquorice. The palate is elegant and lively, with Nebbiolo's characteristic fine tannins, refreshing acidity and a gently savoury finish. There's plenty of Piedmontese personality here, but in a style that's ready to enjoy without years in the cellar. Delicious with mushroom risotto, roast duck, truffle pasta or a generous plate of aged Parmigiano. A wonderful way to experience the Aldo Conterno touch at a rather friendlier price than its famous Barolos!
