The honeyed, frothy, golden-straw, stream-side-dank aroma of Galium verum. Rosemary on the finish. A wine for food lovers and lovers of stones, aromatic herbs, pith, peel, raw.

Pure, medium-bodied, elegant white with plenty of ripe citrus and quince-like fruit, some subtle spice and toasty nuances, terrific overall balance, and a clean, dry finish.
Kirsch, cinnamon, mint and rose petal are beautifully lifted. A kiss of French oak adds just a touch of raciness without overpowering the wine at all.

The Conterno Fantino 2022 Langhe Nebbiolo Ginestrino reveals medium-rich concentration with primary fruits that touch the darker side of the Nebbiolo spectrum. Notes of blackberry and wild plum are softened by oak, tarry spice and toasted cinnamon. The wine deserves a bigger drinking window, probably taking it up to the 10-year mark. Production is 38,000 bottles.

Crushed red berry fruit, cedar, tobacco, spice, mint and dried flowers. This lithe, elegant Langhe Nebbiolo has quite a bit to offer. It's a lovely entry-level offering, especially in this vintage.
An intoxicating wine with aromas of mint, dried flowers, red cherries and graphite. Full-bodied, it shows firm and extracted tannins of good ripeness, with crisp acidity and a muscular yet balanced.

Soaring, high-toned aromatics make a strong first impression. Spice, blood orange, new leather and cedar top notes open first. Bright and focused, with terrific persistence.

Generous oak spices are in great harmony with the rich fruits and agile structure of this classic memorable Barolo. Enticing cedar, cinnamon, iodine and sour cherry aromas meld with warm red cherries.
