Barolo Castelletto “Vigna Pressenda” DOCG 2020 (BIO)

Conterno Fantino | Piedmont
Az. Agr. Conterno Fantino | Via Ginestra 1 | IT 12065 Monforte d'Alba

The sandy soils north of Monforte d'Alba give this Barolo its immense power and structure. The bouquet is very open and appealing with dark cherries and raspberries, as well as notes of mint, cedar wood, rose petals and sage. Very lively and expressive on the palate, with deep beauty, seamlessly contoured and spectacular resonance. A fabulous wine from a very good vintage, classic and exotic at the same time.

"The Conterno Fantino 2020 Barolo Castelletto Vigna Pressenda shows rich dark fruits, liquorice, spa cedar and sweet oak spice. On the palate, it shows a certain richness with a hint of vanilla extract, with sweet blueberry cream and cherry pie. The tannins have a slight toasted note, but remain fine-grained and well-integrated overall." Wine Advocate

"The Barolo Castelletto Vigna Pressenda 2020 is a delicate, elegant wine. Crushed rose petals, orange peel, white pepper, mint and crushed stones adorn this marvellous, translucent Barolo. All the elements are very well balanced. It has a crystalline purity that is simply beguiling. It is the most ethereal and perfumed of the Barolos here. The 2020 is simply great." Vinous

"Clearly defined fruit flavors give this red accessibility. Cherry, strawberry, raspberry, hibiscus, earth and menthol notes are backed by a dense matrix of tannins. A fresh version, with a long, complex finish." Wine Spectator

"One of the richer, rounder and more mouth-filling Barolos. This expansive wine fills its beautifully firm structure with intricate layers of red cherry, orange peel, raspberry and cedar. Although full-bodied and broad in texture, it has the characteristic fine-grained tannins that only get better with time." James Suckling
