The glorious Barolo Castelletto Pressenda 2017 is a beautiful expression of this sun-drenched vintage. Its deep ruby colour is just starting to show the brick rim of maturity, and the nose is brim-full of red cherry, cranberry and dried cherry, overlaid with luxurious white chocolate. As inviting as the aromas are, they don't quite prepare you for the extraordinarily succulent, deep palate, redolent of deep, gorgeous ripe fruit, with supremely velvety texture. This is absolutely, completely, 100% delicious to drink now, and it should provide much enjoyment for at least another 8-10 years years. A special Barolo from the Pressenda vineyard, originally planted in 1969, in the Cru of Castelletto and the village of Monteforte d'Alba. The site has a south-eastern aspect, and lies at an elevation of 350-370 metres.

Press Review
94+/100 - This wine boasts a very etched and linear quality that defines both the bouquet and the mouthfeel. The Conterno Fantino 2017 Barolo Castelletto Vigna Pressenda starts in little clicks with wild berry, cassis, dark plum, spice and tar. Those intervals add up quickly to form a greater sense of length and endurance that this wine, made with fruit from silty soils mixed with sand and clay, delivers in both the good years and the more difficult ones alike. I noted an exotic floral component in the 2016 vintage; however, this 2017 edition is far more rooted in dark primary fruit. Light touches of smoke and spice give lift to the finish. Drink 2024-2042.
