Vintage 2015 | autumn leaves, mushrooms in smell, bouillon but also raspberries. Far matured which seems strange complex wine

Approachable and fun. Not sure what the aging curve is here

Seems like this wanted more time. Mostly closed but decent stuffing.

Without doubt, their best CTP so far. Explosive fruit flavours, dense tannins and vivid acidity, complimented by very clever and integrated oak treatment. Easy another 10 years here.

Wonderful bouquet of fruit with perfect acidity and dusty earthiness. One of my favorite barberas thus far

the golden glow of saffron-fueled Milanese risotto - delicate yet sinfully creamy - a dish that dates back to 1574 inspired by the artist who worked on the stained glass of the #Duomo of #Milan - perfect with affordable cherry/earthy/peppery #AldoConterno Conca Tre Pile Barbera d'Alba '14 #wine #Milano #Italia #Italy

Lighter than usual but it's red fruit potpourri is impossible not to adore. Great freshness in the elegant yet substantial finish. All new oak, but none of it evident. Impressive.
