2016ConternoFantinoBaroloGinestraVignadelGris

Sans Other Reviewsâ€?The Conterno Fantino 2016 Barolo Ginestra Vigna del Gris comes from a site in Monforte d’Alba that has a big component of loose sand in the soils. These well-draining conditions add to the softness and concentrated aromatic intensity of Nebbiolo. In fact, the bouquet here brings us a medley of red and purple fruits with some ripe blackberry and plum. It shows a hint of pretty cherry sweetness with spice, tobacco and candied licorice. The mouthfeel is full and generous, and this supple Barolo wraps smoothly and luxuriously over the palate. Some 9,100 bottles were made.96+ pointsMonica Larner â€?Wine Advocate (July 2020)
