"Attractive dried strawberries and dark cherries with crushed walnuts, dark spices and cocoa. Hints of forest floor, too. Medium- to full-bodied with very fine tannins and mellow texture. Refined, even and silky at the end. Try after 2026."

"The Conterno Fantino 2019 Barolo Mosconi Vigna Ped (with 6,250 bottles made) is perhaps more floral, with plenty of rose, and fruity, with lots of cherry, compared to the other new releases in this portfolio. This Barolo is very lively and bright thanks to the lifted quality of its primary fruit. The style is a little more immediate, but this wine delivers lots of satisfying Nebbiolo typicity nonetheless. The tannins show an elegant, dusty side."

"Packs a core of cherry and berry fruit shaded by leather, eucalyptus and warm spices. Rich and dense, with youthful reticence. Balanced, with a long finish that flexes the tannins now. Shows great potential, thanks to its ripe fruit, complexity and harmony. Best from 2027 through 2047. From Italy.‡B.S."
