Tasting notes
Monforte d’Alba. Lustrous, deep ruby with orange tinges. Great intensity of cherry fruit on the nose with notes of white pepper and a suggestion of shoe polish. An aromatic oak note wraps up a core of pure marasca cherry. Long, aromatic and with a full spread on the finish, with the gravelly tannins adding tension. (WS)

The organic Conterno Fantino 2021 Barolo Mosconi Vigna Ped has pronounced notes of licorice and toasted aniseed that complement a core of dark fruit. More than the other wines in this portfolio, the Mosconi Vigna Ped has the richest textural build coupled with silky tannins and a point of soft, succulent fruit. You might try a food pairing such as slices of roast beef that are deep pink in the middle.
The 2021 Barolo Mosconi Vigna Ped is the biggest and most powerful of these wines Barolos from Conterno-Fantino. Then again, this is Mosconi. Dark-toned fruit, leather, gravel, incense, licorice and graphite are all beautifully amplified in a broad, potent young Barolo imbued with the essence of place. All this needs is time.
