Giacomo Conterno's 2018 Barolo is pure Nebbiolo power. Three to four weeks on the skins in wooden vats builds serious structure and complexity from hand-harvested fruit kept to a restrained yield. Dark cherry, tar, and rose petal meet firm tannins and the mineral backbone that makes Barolo unmistakable; this is a wine that demands respect and will reward patience.

The 2020 Barolo Francia is a soaring, classically austere wine built for the cellar. Medium in body and driving, with tons of mineral intensity, the 2020 is an evocative wine that makes me think about the future. This is what young Barolo should be - vibrant and stern, but with the purity of fruit that is typical here. The 2020 is so wonderfully alive
