Red Wines

Ruby red color with brick reflections. The nose is fresh, with hints of dried fruit and vanilla. On the palate it is soft with a sweet, elegant and persistent tannin.

A nose with a very pleasant richness and fruitiness. On the palate, rediscover this opulence and let yourself be seduced by the round, silky and full side of this wine.

In this wine, roast hazelnut precedes ripe, dark-cherry notes that seem to find their way straight to a pleasure center of the brain. The palate follows in a hedonistic flow of ripe, velvety dark cherry, perfumed with a hint of Amarena. 

Coming from the historic family vineyard in Serralunga, from which in the great vintages Monfortino is produced, this Barolo is the maximum expression of Nebbiolo in all its power, elegance and refinement. In short, an opulent wine.

The new vineyard purchased a few years ago by the Conterno family presents itself on the market with an exceptional Barolo, powerful and structured, with a very persistent tannic texture, and slightly more balsamic than the nearby vineyard France.

The 2018 Barolo Francia is powerful, deep and also a touch austere. It shows the edginess of all the 2018s, but also has a feeling of textural creaminess that adds tons of character. Spice, menthol, leather and a whole range of balsamic overtones build into the deep, imposing finish.

The 2018 Barolo Cerretta is a very pretty wine. Sweet, perfumed aromatics and beams of nervous tannin give the 2018 its focused personality. There is good energy and vibrancy here, if not quite the mid-palate pliancy that is typical. The 2018 is shaping up to be a decidedly understated Cerretta.

In the mouth it is velvety ample and fills up with sweet and lasting tannins. The great polyphenolic structure of Nebbiolo and the right acid tannic balance of this wine are synonyms of long lasting wine.

Vigna Colonnello is garnet ruby red in color. The nose is complex offering aromas of spices, even exotic spices, dried flowers, and forest floor. Remarkable on the palate for the excellent concentration of refined tannins, supple, able to envelop the palate without being aggressive. The finish is long and persistent.

"The 2018 Barbaresco Nubiola is silky, open-knit and quite expressive, all of which make it a delight to taste today. It opens beautifully to reveal hints of spice, licorice and blood orange woven into a core of dark cherry/plum fruit. Best of all, the 2018 will drink well with only minimal cellaring. It's already pretty giving today, especially with some air." Antonio Galloni
