2012 Conterno Fantino Barolo Vigna del Gris DOCG, Piedmont

92 pts - Antonio Gallini

The 2012 Barolo Vigna del Gris is lifted, perfumed and refined. Sweet floral notes meld into a core of red-fleshed fruit, tobacco, mint and spices, with attractive citrus-infused overtones that add brightness. This is an especially mid-weight, gracious Barolo from Conterno-Fantino. There is a lot to like in the wine's precision and overall nuance. This sandy site tends to produce refined, perfumed aromatic Barolos, which is exactly what you’ll will find here. Drink 2019-2027.
