Poderi Aldo Conterno’s Nebbiolo Favot is one of the most interesting and unconventional interpretations of Nebbiolo in the Langhe, produced in the Monforte d’Alba area. “Favot” is made from Nebbiolo grapes grown in vineyards not classified as Barolo DOCG, but vinified with great care and in a style that reflects Aldo Conterno’s philosophy: elegance, balance, and precision rather than rusticity.

The 1996 vintage is considered one of the great classic vintages of Barolo and the Langhe, characterized by slow ripening, high natural acidity, and substantial tannic structure, producing wines capable of aging for a very long time. In this context, the 1996 Favot now presents itself as a mature yet still vibrant Nebbiolo, with complex aromas of wilted rose, cherries preserved in alcohol, ripe raspberry, licorice, spices, light tar, and tertiary notes of undergrowth, tobacco, and leather.

On the palate, it generally retains good energy, with tannins that are still present but have been softened by time, and a characteristic acidity typical of the vintage that supports the wine and still gives it a certain verticality. It lacks the monumental structure of the winery’s most prestigious Barolos, but it retains a finesse that is very typical of the Conterno style—smoother and more harmonious.

This wine pairs exceptionally well with food and truly shines when served with traditional Piedmontese dishes such as beef braised in Barolo, tajarin with meat sauce, agnolotti del plin with roast meat sauce or with butter and sage, and game such as hare or roe deer. It also pairs well with porcini mushrooms and aged cheeses, especially those that aren’t overly sharp.
