Very nice. Clean, pure, hits all the classic Nebbiolo notes.

Great alternative to Barolo. Still young, lots of fruit.

The most Burgundian Nebbiolo I’ve come across. Stunning nose. Rustic barnyard notes, iron, cherry, kirsch, tobacco, and nutmeg. Lifted, perfumed, yet slightly funky. Dry, but not Barolo dry. Acidity adds vibrancy and balance. Minerality, slightly underripe red fruit. Cranberry and chalk. Lingers on the finish. So good.

2016. Light ruby, lighter-bodied Barolo from Conterno’s 2018 purchase of northern Piedmont (Gattinara) property. Elegant and well-made, with firm tannins and good acidity, but just too light for my taste. Thin dried cherry fruit, with little mid-palate weight, even after many hours of decanting. $43-45.

Bästa nebbiolon på länge. Nedtonad men ändå väldigt komplex. Bra syra och inbäddade tannniner. Nedtonad frukt, men rosor, nypon, te, rök, mineral ger en mycket fin helhet. Kan lagras men är riktigt fin nu.

Nose is elegant but dense.
Palate is elegant. Great cherries. Very good balance. Some licorice flower.
Nice licorice flower finish.
As this aerates it dissipates a bit.
