The 2022 Il Favot opens with bright aromas of sour cherry, red plum, rose petal, and a hint of dried herbs and minerality. On the palate it is medium-bodied with supple tannins, lively acidity, and clean red fruit that leads to a focused, dry finish. Elegant and approachable in its youth, it also has the structure to benefit from 3–5 years in bottle.

Poderi Aldo Conterno, based in Monforte d’Alba, is a benchmark Barolo producer known for combining tradition, precision, and site-driven expression. While their top cru bottlings (Romirasco, Cicala, Colonnello) define the estate’s prestige, Il Favot is their Langhe Nebbiolo—an entry‑level Nebbiolo sourced from younger or secondary parcels but made with the same care and integrity. The wine benefits from the estate’s rigorous vineyard selection, native yeast fermentations, gentle extraction, and aging in neutral or lightly seasoned wood to preserve freshness, clarity, and terroir character rather than overt manipulation. Il Favot is conceived to offer an accessible gateway into the Conterno style: balanced, elegant, and reflective of Nebbiolo’s personality without the weight of Barolo.
