"The barrique regime at Conterno Fantino seems to work wonders for this Barbera, adding just the right amount of menthol, vanilla, cinnamon and chocolate to the black cherry flavors. Long and supple on the finish, with a creamy mouthfeel. Drink now. Imported by Empson (USA) Ltd."

"The nose is racy and offers power and a fine intensity. It reveals notes of blackberry, plum and small notes of ripe cherry associated with a touch of violet, small red fruits, gray pepper and very discreet toasted hints. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers an acidulous frame, tension, a racy minerality, a small gourmandize, freshness, suavity as well as precision. On the palate this wine expresses notes of fleshy / juicy blackberry, juicy plum and small notes of ripe cherry associated with fine touches of small red fruits, violet, chocolate and a very discreet hint of caramelization. Tannins are well-built."
