The 2015 Barolo is a very pretty wine with plenty of Monforte character in its balsamic profile and bright, energetic tannins. The sample I tasted, taken from cement, was a bit low in SO2, which tends to flatten wines a bit. Even so, there is quite a bit of both depth and pedigree, not to mention the translucent character that makes Nebbiolo so compelling.

Vinous
Conterno’s 2015 Barolo is a soft, easygoing wine to drink now and over the next few years. Sweet tobacco, cedar, licorice and menthol add aromatic complexity, but the slightly dried out fruit profile makes me think the 2015 will develop relatively fast. Diego and Stefano Conterno bottled their 2015 with 22 months in barrel, a little bit earlier than normal, which was probably a sound decision. The 2015 is pretty, but a touch fragile. I liked it a bit more from barrel. Vineyard sources are San Pietro, San Giovanni and Ginestra (Pajana and Vigna del Gris).
