| Description: | Alessandro and Gian Natale Fantino, run the family estate in Monforte d'Alba in the historic center of town, inside a 17th-century palace. Alessandro managed the vineyards and he was cellarman in Bartolo Mascarello's winery for 20 years, from 1978 to 1997. Since 1998 he has dedicated himself to his family's estate alongside his brother full time. Kermit Lynch (US Importer) notes: "Even with eight years of age, this plush Barolo from the Bussia cru in Monforte d'Alba is as striking and youthful as it's ever been. Hints of toasty tobacco, violet, and roasted fig will draw you in, while the bottling's energy and vigor will hold your attention.
