Note di degustazione
The Conterno Fantino 2019 Barolo Castelletto Vigna Pressenda is medium dark and more concentrated compared to many of its peers. This wine shows a solid bouquet with fixed aromas of wild cherry, long-stemmed rose and candied orange. With time, even more floral aromas are coaxed forward from the bouquet. Beyond those are oak-driven notes of allspice and cinnamon. The tannins are polished, and the wine offers quite a bit of fruit texture. Production is 6,600 bottles.

The 2019 Barolo Castelletto Vigna Pressenda is gorgeous. Delicate and perfumed in the glass, the 2019 offers up a beguiling mélange of dark red cherry, rose petal, mint, cedar, blood orange, spice and crushed autumn leaves. In 2019, the Monforte tannins are especially refined, something that is very rarely the case here at this stage. What a wonderfully precise, sophisticated, nuanced wine this is. Impressive.
Fermented in a horizontal rotofermenter, which turns very slowly once in the morning and once in the evening. Two weeks on the skins until the alcoholic fermentation is finished. Aged for 12 months in barriques (one-third new, one-third one year old and one-third two years old) followed by 12 months in large oak casks. Lustrous, youthful crimson. Ripe, aromatic raspberry over savoury minerally notes and with hardly discernible oak – more like a pinch of spice. Succulent, deep raspberry palate charged with bags of chewy tannins. Great length, focus and concentration. (WS)
