Cantine del Castello Conti - Origini 2023

Castello Conti is a family-run winery based in Maggiora, in the Boca DOC area of Alto Piemonte. Managed by the three Conti sisters—Elena, Anna, and Paola—the estate focuses on reviving traditional field blends typical of the region. Origini 2023 is made from a co-fermentation of Nebbiolo, Vespolina, Uva Rara, and other local varieties, all hand-harvested from organically farmed vineyards on volcanic soils rich in porphyry. Fermentation is spontaneous with native yeasts, and the wine is aged for about 15 months—partly in stainless steel, partly in large old oak casks. The result is a vibrant red wine with notes of red berries, herbs, and spice, supported by bright acidity and supple tannins. Origini is a tribute to Alto Piemonte’s farming past, when wines were made for family and community. Today, the Conti sisters carry forward that legacy with a thoughtful, low-intervention approach that honors both land and tradition.
