Alessandro and Gian Natale Fantino manage to marry two crucial elements in their Barolos: the deep structure that guarantees a long evolution through the years and the plush, inviting texture that endows their wines with immediate drinkability. Ultra-traditionalists in the cellar—they swear by large casks—they are blessed with top-class vineyards in Bussia, a renowned cru of Monforte d’Alba. Sweetly perfumed with supple, fine-grained tannins, this 2012 Barolo will drink beautifully over the next fifteen years.
