Langhe Rosso Monprà 2023

Monprà is a wine that has shaped the history of modern Piedmontese viticulture. First produced in 1985, it represents the perfect encounter between two iconic varieties from Monforte d’Alba: Nebbiolo (for elegance and structure) and Barbera (for color and vibrant acidity). The grapes come from vineyards perched between 300 and 400 meters above sea level, where steep slopes and silty-calcareous soils ensure optimal ripening and extraordinary extractive richness.

Conterno Fantino’s production philosophy dictates that the two varieties are treated separately at every stage: they ferment in stainless steel and age in French oak. The final blend is created only just before bottling. Monprà is distinguished by its deep ruby color and an intense bouquet ranging from ripe red fruit to spicy, vanillic notes. On the palate, it is powerful, warm, and enveloping, with a characteristic smoothness that makes it extremely approachable while maintaining great potential for aging.
