Guido Fantino managed to make one of the stars of the 2003 vintage in his Sori Ginestra, but his 2004s are in another quality league entirely. He compares the 2004 vintage to 1978, and the 2001s to the 1989s. "The 2004s are vibrant, balanced wines from perfect grapes," he told me. "They are great across the board. The wines have a very fresh structure and excellent balance and should be long-lived. They're fresher than the 2001s, a bit cooler in style. " He then announced that 2006 may be the best vintage of all of these. "The wines have great fruit, great tannins and outstanding structure. And they are elegant. " My early look at this new set of wines suggested that 2006 will certainly be the best vintage yet for Conterno's new Mosconi bottling, a wine from a 35-year-old vineyard, half of which was replanted in 1998.
