Barolo DOCG Vigna del Gris 2022 - Conterno Fantino

At the beginning of the eighties, Claudio Conterno and Guido Fantino were among the young pioneers who began to turn the world of Barolo upside down. So far, they have barely moved away from their well-maintained style, which was both admired and rejected by the traditional “Barolisti”. They have perfected it and today their wines are regarded as a challenge and standard for a modern concept of the most famous Italian red wine. The two Baroli from the Sorì Ginestra and Vigna del Gris layers have become actual “musts” for anyone interested in Barolo, especially for followers of modern style. The difference between the two wines is evident with every vintage, as Sorì Ginestra has more strength and tannic structure, whereas Vigna del Gris impresses with filigree elegance, finesse and harmonious smoothness. This characteristic is all the more astonishing as the vines are adjacent to each other, on the same hilltop, which faces more south for Sorì Ginestra and south-south-east for Vigna del Gris.
