In stock
A stunning Dolcetto from a top Barolo producer in Piedmont. Considered a "signature" wine for this boutique, family-run winery, the Bricco Bastia is a dense expression of Dolcetto. Loads of dark fruit, cherry, mineral notes and blueberry intensity all supported by the bright acidity which this delicious and distinctive style is known. A new import and a bargain at this low price!
$32.99 in mixed 6+ or $36.99 per bottle

Its Origins

Azienda Agricola Conterno Fantino was established in 1982 by Guido Fantino and Claudio Conterno. The state-of-the art winery is located on top of a hill overlooking the old village of Montforte d'Alba, enjoying an extraordinary view stretching out around the arc of Alps. Conterno Fantino's range comprises a Barolo DOCG from Sori Ginestra, and several DOC wines from Langhe, Barbera d'Alba, Dolcetto d' Alba and a mono-varietal wine (Chardonnay). The style of their Barolo is modern, showing rich aromas and flavours, lush, soft texture and well-rounded tannins.

What The Critics Say

90/100 Vinous, Antonio Galloni

"The 2022 Dolcetto d'Alba Bricco Bastia is a very pretty wine. Crushed blue fruits, menthol, licorice and baking spices are all nicely lifted in this delicate, understated Dolcetto. Like so many Dolcettos, the 2022 here is more finesse than power." Drink 2023 - 2028

90/100 James Suckling

"Aromas of ripe blueberries and mulberries with rose petals and peppery undertones. Medium-bodied with polished texture and fine tannins. Fresh and floral at the end. Drink now."
