This is a gorgeous set of wines from Conterno-Fantino, starting with the Dolcetto all the way up to the Barolos. I have always admired this estate for their consistency across the entire range. The 2021 Barolos saw 15-18 days on the skins. Malolactic fermentation was done in barrel. The wines were raised in French oak barriques to start, and then a combination of cask and barrique for the second year of aging. Conterno-Fantino has very smartly updated their style in recent years, but without completely changing the wines. That's a winning approach, in my view.
