Guido Fantino's son Fabio, who apparently chose enology school over soccer, told me that the estate has reduced its use of new barriques for its Barolos to 80% in search of a more elegant style but also noted that the family is the last to pick in their great cru Ginestra (despite the fact that uncle Claudio generally prefers to pick earlier with good acidity and low pH). Fabio told me that the nebbiolo remained in good condition through the harvest of 2009 but that the 2010s are more classic.
