Riserva

Today Livia Fontana is running her father's estate with her sons, producing very focused Barolos with precise and somewhat modern winemaking. In the 2017 vintage, this style was helpful. Ruby in colour, very pale and bright, aromas are restrained if not reductive. Peachy with red cherry and vanilla scents are enhanced by meaty notes, suggestive of its graceful and fresh complexity. The attack is graceful as well, with refined tannins, and a warming, dusty, oaky finish. Well judged and well handled.
