The 2007 Barbera d’Alba Vignota flows from the glass with waves of fruit that caress the palate in stunning style. This delicious Barbera has only been in bottle for a short time, and my impression is that it will only get better in the coming months. It is a sumptuous, opulent Barbera that is sure to provide much pleasure over the next few years. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2012. These entry-level wines show why Conterno-Fantino is one of Piedmont’s top estates. Importer: Empson, USA, Alexandria, VA; tel. (703) 684-0900
