2020 x2 Conterno

Cappellano – Barolo Otin Fiorin Piè Rupestris 2020 Tasting Notes: The nose opens with distinct and elegant aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry, and dried rose petals, accompanied by mineral notes (chalk, graphite), fresh mint, and sweet spices. On the palate, it has a medium body with sculpted yet silky tannins, a vibrant freshness, and a persistent finish featuring notes of orange peel and white pepper. Score: 95/100 (Vinous - Antonio Galloni) Producer's Note: Out of an ethical decision made by founder Baldo Cappellano, the winery does not release official scores or allow numerical ratings in wine guides. The listed scores come from independent international wine critics 2. Bartolo Mascarello – Barolo 2020 Tasting Notes: A traditional blended Barolo of extraordinary elegance and balance. It boasts a complex and floral bouquet with notes of violet, linden flower, and camphor, followed by redcurrant, sour cherry, liquorice, tea leaf, and balsamic hints. Taut and linear on the palate, with ultra-fine, velvety tannins supporting a deep, fresh sip with a remarkably long, savory finish. Scores: 97/100 (Decanter World Wine Awards) 97/100 (James Suckling) 96/100 (Robert Parker's Wine Advocate) 94/100 (Vinous) 3. Giacomo Conterno – Barolo Cerretta 2020 (Bottom right bottle) Tasting Notes: Compared to the Francia cru, the Cerretta highlights the classic muscle and energy of the Serralunga d'Alba terroir. On the nose, it offers tones of ripe plum, rust, bitter orange marmalade, dark spices, and touches of incense. Dense, concentrated, and chewy on the palate, backed by a tight yet impeccably polished tannic structure and a lingering, balsamic finish. Scores: 97/100 (Falstaff) 95–96/100 (International Critic Consensus) 4. Giacomo Conterno – Barolo Arione 2020 Tasting Notes: Produced from the Arione vineyard (acquired in 2015 in Serralunga d'Alba, bordering Cascina Francia to the south), the 2020 vintage stands out for its great delicacy, transparency, and a slightly darker, more elegant profile compared to more muscular past expressions. Nose: A floral and balsamic profile dominates, with tones of violet, lavender, sage, mint, cedar, dried rose petals, and a vivid fruitiness of cherry and apricot, enriched by mineral nuances of crushed stone, scorched earth, and spices. Palate: Medium-bodied with great balance and an inherent fruit sweetness. The tannins are polished, silky, and precise, supported by a striking, refreshing acidity that lends the sip great momentum, depth, and a remarkably long, savory, and balsamic finish. International Wine Critic Scores: 97/100 – Vinous (Antonio Galloni) 96/100 – Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (Monica Larner) 96/100 – Jeb Dunnuck 97/100 – Falstaff
