Alessandro e Gian Natale Fantino
Brothers Alessandro and Gian Natale Fantino operate out of a tiny cellar in Monforte that gives new meaning to the term “garage wine.” The estate produces two Barolos from the prestigious Dardi zone of Bussia, as well as an extraordinary sweet wine made from dried Nebbiolo. For his Barolos Fantino does a fermentation and maceration of roughly 20 days, after which the wines undergo malolactic fermentation in steel. The Barolo Dardi is aged in barriques, while the Riserva is aged in slightly larger barrels. The real showstopper though is the Nebbiolo passito, Nepas, which is one of the most unique, compelling sweet wines I have ever tasted. Imagine a profound Recioto but with the full range of aromatics and flavors of a first-rate Barolo and you get some sense of what this wine is all about.
