Tasting notes
The organic Conterno Fantino 2023 Barbera d'Alba Vignota shows soft and thick layers of ripe blackberry with an especially succulent element in this warm vintage. Black cherry and crème de cassis give this wine a fruit-forward style with soft tannins and bright acidity. The house style always prizes elegance, and that is apparent here.

Taking on a deeper aromatic profile, the 2023 Barbera d'Alba Vignota pours a deep red/purple tone an d offers a more polished feel. The nose boasts notes of blackberries, cedar, well-integrated baking spice, and pressed violets. Medium-bodied, it has a well-rounded mid-palate, with refreshing and snappy ripe acidity and a clean, even finish. It’s a beautifully detailed Barbera to drink over the next 5-6 years.
The 2023 Barbera d'Alba Vignota is terrific. Plump, juicy and medium in body, the 2023 is all class. Bright acids perk up a core of dark red/cherry fruit. Blood orange, new leather and cedar build into the succulent finish. This is a fine effort from one of the top vigneron families in Barolo.
