Conterno Fantino 2009 Vigna del Gris (Barolo)

Country: Italy / Vigna del Gris
Variety: Nebbiolo Piedmont
Winery: Conterno Fantino / Barolo

Oak, roasted coffee bean and coconut aromas lead the nose. The palate offers dried black cherry, exotic spice, oak extract and espresso alongside astringent wood tannins that dry out the mouth. There’s not quite enough fruit richness to stand up to the oak.
