Conterno Fantino Barolo Sori Ginestra 2019 75cl
£94.38
This Barolo comes from the famous cru of the same name in Monteforte, an historic vineyard that is considered one of the very finest The wine displays fabulous fruit concentration: complex, savoury, herbal, gamey, woody attributes are present, but in the background, behind deliciously appealing fresh red cherry, dried cherry, cranberry, sage, iron, elderberry, new oak and aniseed character Massively rich and weighty in the mouth, with black cherry, liquorice, thyme and roasted red pepper flavours It deserves cellaring to reach its full potential, but one sip and frankly you feel like sneaking off with the bottle now and spending a few hours alone with it Phenomenally good!

Conterno Fantino Barolo Castelletto Vigna Pressenda 2017 75cl
£90.66
A special Barolo from the Pressenda vineyard, originally planted in 1969, in the Cru of Castelletto and the village of Monteforte d'Alba The site has a south-eastern aspect, and lies at an elevation of 350-370 metres Conterno-Fantino's style is rich, savoury and structured, and this is terrific - you can start drinking after a couple of years, however it is also capable of cellaring for decades if desired
Conterno Fantino Barolo, Mosconi Vigna Ped 2017 75cl
£94.08
A wine of serious concentration and structure, this has an immediately complex and concentrated nose of both fresh and dried cherry, cranberry, toasted oak, iron, liquorice, star anise and vanilla The flavours in the mouth are every bit as complex - rosehips, black and red liquorice and a rich, chocolatey character The tannin is pretty obvious when it is young, although it has lots of energy and vivacity that makes it tempting to drink early…but probably better to keep it for a bit
