Giacomo Conterno
Cascina Francia Barolo Nebbiolo


G Conterno Barolo! What can I say as standard bearer for me for expression of Nebbiolo...layers of compact flavors and evolving! Amazing wine yet to show full complexity.

Way too young, a bit tight & austere and one dimensional. Needs a lot of more time in the cellar (10-15 years) to really open up.

Dove into the vault today. This was an iffy vintage with much bottle variation, but this bottle hit the bullseye. Rhubarb and ripe tobacco combined with red peppercorn notes melted into a glassy texture. Rose confit
