Conterno Fantino
Bricco Bastia Dolcetto d'Alba



Not yet released when tasted. Fruity and light, but dense flavor. Wish this was in California!

Tart cherries on the palate; graphite, lavender, mild tobacco and forest floor on the nose.

Dec 4th, 2017Easy drinking and light wine. Well balanced from beginning to finish with no edges. Little to no tannins on the finish. Not only pairs well with meats, but also pairs well with fish and seafood.

GL tasting 2/1/17 Conterno Fantino. Bright red cherry and minty notes on nose. Light body with some acids for balance and medium finish. But of tannins. 2014 difficult year lots of rain in July. No wood. Family owned. 125k bottles annual total production. Bricco means peak. Too high for Barbera and Nebbiolo. Single vineyard. $18.

Fruity but dry. Acid present but not overpowering. Strong plum nose. Light body with a mild finish. Very nice.

'15 looks like another strong vintage. Rich fruit with good structure. All tank.
