A single vineyard Barolo with a story to tell. Conteisa vineyard is situated in Cerequio, in the municipality of la Morra, covering 6 hectares and homes vines which are on average 65 years old. Opulent, long lived and expressive. Fresh bouquet, fine and ripe tannins, great drinkability. Open and persistent nose. Polished tannins and the bright acidity balance the fruit concentration, leading to classic medium-weight structure with remarkable ageing potential.

The 2017 Barbaresco Sori San Lorenzo shows its typical darkness and brooding character, but it is a bit light in body and structure. Time in the glass brigs out some of the wine s natural breadth, but the 2017 is decidedly on the lighter side, as all these wines are. Dark plum, spice, smoke, licorice and tar begin to emerge, but they only do it with reluctance. The Sori San Lorenzo signatures are present, and yet they aren t fully expressed.

Barbaresco. From the Secondine cru. Tasted blind. Mid ruby with orange tinges. Full, ripe yet fine nose with plenty of depth. Succulent and elegant palate with generous, sweet-sour cherry fruit and truly animating, crunchy tannins. Lots of everything but contained and poised at the same time. (WS)
