Contratto’s 2004 Barolo Cerequio is a medium-bodied offering redolent of perfumed, ripe fruit and sweet toasted oak. The wine possesses excellent density and firmness, yet well-integrated tannins. This looks to be a good candidate for near to mid-term drinking. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2020. Importer: Bedford International, Larchmont, NY; tel. (914) 833-2725
