Fabio Conterno describes 2016 as a year with a very long vegetative cycle and a late harvest. The 2016s are striking and loaded with site character. Time on the skins ranges from 12-15 days, longer than in the past. The Barolos can be divided into two groups in terms of aging: the Vigna del Gris and Sorì Ginestra - the two classics in this range - see 100% new oak, while the two newcomers - the Castelletto Vigna Pressenda and Mosconi Vigna Ped - see a year in cask and a year in larger format oak.
