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.
Opening to aromas of dried cherry and blackcurrant, the organic Conterno Fantino 2021 Barolo Ginestra Vigna del Gris makes a fleshy and enriched appearance with hints of black licorice, tar and crushed rose at the back. The wine has a softer, velvety quality of tannins that makes it slightly more approachable in the medium term, but I nevertheless recommend more bottle age. 2027-2044.
