"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."

"Perfumed, this red exhibits violet, blackberry, black currant and mineral flavors. Intense, showing a measure of finesse and excellent balance, with a long, fruit-stained aftertaste. Drink now through 2032.‡Bruce Sanderson"

"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."
