"I was blown away by the wines I tasted at Conterno-Fantino. The 2019s are nuanced, transparent and wonderfullyexpressive of place. In other words, everything Barolo should be. Everything starts in the vineyard, which has always been evident here. In recent years, Fabio Fantino has refined that approach, giving the wines a level of precision that is impossible to miss. The 2019s spent 15-18 days on the skins, far longer than a decade ago, and were aged in acombination of barrique and 25hL casks. The 2019s are simply stellar.."

"Conterno-Fantino is one of the most interesting producers in Barolo today....Tasting the same wine from both cask and barrique is so telling of the sheer quality and potential of this fruit. In my view, Conterno-Fantino are among the best farmers in Piedmont. The purest expression of the great – and I do mean great – sites the family works with unquestionably comes through more clearly with cask."

"The 2021 Lange Nebbiolo Ginestrino is a blend of young vine fruit from the estate's four core holdings, plus Munie and
a touch from Ornati, which is just outside the Barolo appellation. Medium in body and gracious, the Lange Nebbiolo is
just gorgeous. Bright acids perk up a core of red Nebbiolo fruit, crushed rose petal, mint and orange zest."

"The 2019 Barolo Castelletto Vigna Pressenda is gorgeous. Delicate and perfumed in the glass, the 2019 offers up abeguiling mélange of dark red cherry, rose petal, mint, cedar, blood orange, spice and crushed autumn leaves. In2019, the Monforte tannins are especially refined, something that is very rarely the case here at this stage. What awonderfully precise, sophisticated, nuanced wine this is. Impressive.."

"The 2019 Barolo Mosconi Vigna Ped shows all the depth that is typical of this site. A rush of dark red fruit, smoke, targravel, incense and crushed rose petals builds as the 2019 shows off its remarkable depth and textural intensity. There's real character and pedigree here. Time in the glass releases layers of fruit that build into the huge, substantialfinish. What a wine!."

"The 2019 Barolo Ginestra Vigna del Gris is another terrific wine from Conterno-Fantino. Crushed flowers, cedar, pipetobacco, mint, dried flowers and worn-in leather give the 2019 striking aromatic presence. Here, too, Fabio Conternohas done a terrific job in taming the Monforte tannins. The Gris never has the completeness of the other crus, but in2019 it is positively striking. I would drink this ahead of the other 2019s"

"The 2019 Barolo Ginestra Vigna Sori Ginestra is one of the most elegant wines I have ever tasted from Conterno Fantino and the Ginestra cru. Ample and broad, with huge intensity, the Sori Ginestra is stunning. All the Ginestrasignatures come through in the glass. The 2019 is deep and vibrant, yet also wonderfully fresh. There is a creaminessin the 2019 that is impossible to miss. This is so impressive.."
