"Like Giamello in Barbaresco, the Fantino brothers epitomize Nebbiolo traditionalism, and their sixty-year-old, south-facing vines in the historic cru of Bussia give them the perfect raw material to realize their vision of what Barolo can be. Deep, rich, and soulful, this Riserva teems with notes of roses, cherry, spice, and leather and is begging to be paired with a ribeye." - Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant
