"The organic Conterno Fantino 2021 Langhe Nebbiolo Ginestrino (with 40,000 bottles released) has a spicy note of white pepper along with cassis and blue flower. This is an easy expression of Nebbiolo that succeeds both in terms of balance and varietal intensity. There is a hint of sweet cinnamon on the close."
