The wines at this estate have always been well received but it is widely accepted that the new generation of the family, Fabio Fantino, has raised the quality immensely. The 2021s might be some of the best wines ever made here and they represent very good value for money too. They are modern but retain typicity and energy.
The organic Conterno Fantino 2021 Barolo Castelletto Vigna Pressenda shows lots of richness and volume, with a bouquet that is exceptionally focused and sharp. This estate has expertly captured the purity of this balanced vintage with a long growing season, just like Nebbiolo likes it. Firm but restrained power is delivered across the width of the palate and the firm tannins. A metallic note of iron ore appears on the close to give the wine a salty aftertaste. 2027-2045.
