The best Barolo at Da Fabiana, Bossolaschetto, Piedmonte with the three Cubans. 95 euros. Complex, big, quite elegant. However, the Langhe Nebbiolo last night might be better, forgive me. Curly really liked it. — 9 months ago

Chateau Fontana 2016 is excellent value for quality. Medium body. Deep crimson. Good terroir. Some fruit, particularly prune. A bit musty, in a good way. All around nice Bordeaux. — 6 years ago

Another Nebb I was forced to pay attention to as it was paired with one of the courses during dinner. Bigger than the 14' Cascina Fontana - perhaps even the biggest red of the night, but somewhat not unexpected for the vintage. Nevertheless, it's still elegant and polished. Palate was full of dry sweet red fruit and spice, balanced by a clean racy finish and dense minerality. Nose was driven by sweet berry notes, some orange oil, leather, pepper, dried herbs, balsamic. Gripping tannins. Muscular, but finessed. A momentous effort. As expected of CW's choice!

NB: Macerated for 30 days and then aged in large Slavonian Oak (20 HL to 40 HL) for two years, followed by two more years in the bottle. Annual production is usually around 4000 bottles. The write-ups on Chambers St Wines and Vinhulen are nice reads - Ferdinando's change from modern to traditional, to eschewing chemicals in the vineyard and even letting the undergrowth run wild, to the "greatness" of Boscareto. Excellent discovery! — 7 years ago

Delightful. Create a chicken parm with a twist and some steamed spinach. I needed to decant it and let it breathe for a while. During the aperitivo hora. — 2 months ago

Nose: potent. Dark flowers.

Palate: a bit cooked.

Needs air at this young age but quickly hits its stride. Really fragrant, with zesty, ripe berries, spice, a yeasty, fresh bread note, and mineral-flecked turned gravel. Loads of upfront fruit, but in a dry package with zingy acids. Slight bitter note complements the fruit. So pure tasting and food flexible. Textbook. — 3 years ago

Livia Fontana – Fontanin – Nebbiolo 2021, Barolo DOCG – Piemonte, Italy 🇮🇹

Overview
100% Nebbiolo sourced from vineyards around Castiglione Falletto in the Barolo DOCG. A classic expression of Nebbiolo showing the grape’s aromatic intensity, bright acidity, and structural elegance typical of the Langhe hills.

Aromas & Flavors
Highly aromatic with lifted notes of rose petals and tart red fruits. Cherry, cranberry, and subtle earthy undertones emerge with aeration.

Mouthfeel
Medium to full-bodied with vibrant acidity and firm yet refined tannins. Elegant structure with a smooth and persistent finish.

Food Pairings
Braised meats, truffle dishes, mushroom risotto, lamb, aged cheeses.

Verdict
A beautifully aromatic Barolo that highlights Nebbiolo’s classic rose and red-fruit profile while remaining approachable and expressive.

Did You Know?
Nebbiolo is named after the Italian word nebbia (“fog”), referring to the autumn fog that blankets the Langhe hills during harvest season.

🍷 Personal Pick
Aromatic, elegant, and delicious, rose-driven Nebbiolo at its finest.
