In the heart of the Langhe, in the hamlet of Bussia di Monforte d’Alba, is Cascina Sciulun, a typical historic farmhouse, constructed according to Piedmont architectural traditions. Built in the mid-nineteenth century and extended in the 1940s, the house has always belonged to the Conterno family.
The company Franco Conterno has deep roots, and has been a part of the family for many decades. It was nonno Pietro who allocated 18 hectares of land to Nebbiolo vineyards, initially to sell to other wineries for vinification, later destined for the creation of prestigious wines.
Fermentation time: must and skins are kept in contact for 15 days, on which alcoholic fermentation takes place, and punched down daily.
Fermentation temperature: variables with peaks of 31°C. Ageing in cellar: the wine is aged in Slavonian oak barrels (20- 30hl capacity) for 24 months.
Brilliant grenade red in colour with soft orange notes, it is rich, complex on the nose with floral hints. Rich, sweet, tannic, rough, young, and strong on the palate.
