The 2017 Barolo del Commune di Monforte d’Alba is a gorgeous, beguiling wine. Readers will find a Barolo that expresses all of the balsamic, spiced character typical of Ginestra Barolos but without the heft that can make some wines forbidding. Transparent, gracious and super-expressive, Conterno's 2017 is all class. Don't miss it. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, October 2021)

This is a bit richer and fresher than the Cannubi, road tar, dried fruits and floral notes, long, lingering finish, another great old Barolo Riserva! — 5 years ago

Another terrific wine from Cirro at Le Volpe e l’uva. A little tight at first, but with a bit of air this filled out beautifully. Went great with pesto fettucini w/chicken that we threw together for dinner! — 4 years ago

Wonderful. Great depth and dimension. And balance. Black licorice, shoe polish, black fruits, orange zest and violets. Tuned earth. A meatiness in the mid palate. Pronounced, coating but fine tannins. A complete wine. — 5 years ago

Falanghina, Ginestra, and Pepella. Pineapple jolly rancher, overripe peach, lemon/lime flesh, banana candy, gingerbread, wh fl, vegetal, m+ phen, high acid, long finish. The Pepella and Ginestra make this feel like the best Falanghina ive had! Bomboclat!! — 8 years ago

A red blend from Tuscany. Young but with an old soul. Upfront red fruit flavors rapidly turn into layers of dark, dusty, earthy juice extracts polished with fine grained tannins creating a pleasant finish. Excellent wine. — 4 years ago

It may lead with VA and reduction but that animal energy—it’s a turn on, particularly once I braced myself and sipped and the acetaldehyde (bruised apples and hay anyone?) gave way to white peppered honeydew melon. Those tannins borne of skin contact hold you down in just the right way. It is kinetic. It is not elegant but brutally graceful in its irreverence. It cares not about you, but is so compelling you care not, you’re along for the ride. — 5 years ago

Jackpot. Intensely aromatic...it’s like you smell it from the bottom of the glass to the back of your skull. Medium mouthfeel. Balsamic sweetness. Massive win for the money — 8 years ago
