The Conterno Fantino Barolo Vigna Pressenda 2016 is a remarkable expression from the revered Piedmont region in Italy. Known for its robust and complex wines, Barolo is made from the Nebbiolo grape. This 2016 vintage, crafted biodynamically, offers a deep ruby-red hue, accompanied by aromas of dark cherries, roses, and earthy undertones. The region's unique climate, with cool foggy mornings and sunny afternoons, alongside mineral-rich soils, imparts a distinct elegance and structure to the wine. Conterno Fantino, established in 1982, has gained a stellar reputation for producing meticulously crafted wines that capture the essence of their terroir.
To enhance the flavour profile of this Barolo, consider pairing it with dishes that can stand up to its intensity. Rich meats like braised beef or lamb shanks are excellent choices. Traditional regional fare such as risotto with truffles or a hearty tajarin pasta with ragu would also complement the wine beautifully. The earthy and savoury notes will harmonise elegantly, enhancing the overall dining experience.
For optimal enjoyment, serve this Barolo at a temperature of around 18°C (64°F). Decant the wine for approximately two hours to allow its intricate aromas to unfurl. Begin the tasting by observing its brilliant colour; then take in the bouquet, noting the layers of flavour that the Nebbiolo grape is known for. Finally, savour the wine, noting its balance of tannins and acidity, appreciating the long, elegant finish typical of a classic Barolo.
