These are four beautiful Barolos from Conterno-Fantino. The estate's fans will note a new wine, a stunning Barolo from Pressenda that challenges the most established wines in the range in 2013. The 2013s saw about 15 days on the skins. After a few years of experimenting with their oak regime, Conterno-Fantino has settled on an approach in which the legacy Barolos (Vigna del Gris and Sorì Ginestra) are aged entirely in French oak, while the two new wines (the Pressenda and Mosconi) are aged in barrique the first year and cask the second year. If there is anything the Conterno-Fantino wines lack is the ability to age gracefully and consistently for more than 20 years or so.
