Guido Fantino, whose dolcettos and barberas offer uncommon concentration and verve for consumers who cannot afford his Barolos, describes 2008 and 2007 as similar in style for dolcetto. "The 2006s were even bigger, maybe too big in some cases," he said, an opinion expressed by many of his neighbors. Fantino describes 2007 for Barolo as "a great year with grandiose fruit and real elegance." But 2006 is also an important vintage, he went on, with plenty of tannins and a lot of complexity: "2006, 2004 and 2001 are vintages for the barolistas." He likes 2005 for its freshness and advises consumers to wait two years even if the wines are drinkable already. I should note that Fantino's 2006 Barolo Mosconi has delivered on the promise it showed in barrel two years ago.

These entry-level wines show why Conterno-Fantino is one of Piedmont's top estates.
