Roberto Conterno debuts his new Barolo from Arione with the 2015, and it is a stunner, just as it was from barrel. The 2013 and 2014 Monfortinos are both magnificent. Interestingly, both were bottled with five years in cask followed by a year in bottle before release, which is less time in cask and more in bottle than in the past, a response to changes in climate, as well as a desire to released Monfortino with a bit of time in bottle. In both 2013 and 2014, Conterno bottled the entirety of his production from Francia as Monfortino, so there is no Barolo Francia in either vintage. Roberto Conterno’s relentless quest for perfection and remarkable attention to even the seemingly smallest detail comes through in these breathtaking, captivating Barolos.

Conterno fans have a lot to look forward to. The bottled 2016 Barberas are stellar, while the 2017s offer tons of potential, the warm, dry vintage notwithstanding. The only new Barolo release this year is the 2014 Barolo Cerretta, as Conterno decided to make only Monfortino with all of his fruit from Francia. Readers should also take a close look at 2015, a year in which there will be four Barolos: the new Arione, Cerretta, Francia and Monfortino, plus a very special Nebbiolo d'Alba bottled only in magnums that will be sold only for charity.
