Depth and muscle define the Conterno Fantino Barolo Mosconi Vigna Ped 2021, a tightly packed Barolo laden with dark cherry and plum, hints of dried flowers and a subtle savory, earthy undertone. The palate is broad and concentrated, with vigorous acidity and firmly sculpted tannins that promise significant complexity as it relaxes in bottle. This is a powerful, site-driven wine that demands patience but should reward long-term cellaring with impressive breadth and detail.
Braised beef short ribs; Wild boar ragù with pappardelle; Aged Parmigiano-Reggiano

Conterno Fantino’s Barolo Mosconi “Vigna Ped” is a single-vineyard Nebbiolo from the Mosconi cru in Monforte d’Alba (vines planted c.1960 with a small younger parcel), grown on compact sandy-silt-clay soils at roughly 360–400 m and farmed organically; the wine is classically powerful and structured yet precise and mineral, built for long aging with concentrated red-fruit, floral and savory notes and limited annual production.
