The new French oak overwhelms this estate Nebbiolo, masking the varietal character beneath vanilla and resinous wood. Red fruit and mineral notes peek through but struggle against the dominant barrel influence. The saline earthiness that defines great Nebbiolo feels muted, while drying oak tannins create an austere finish that's at odds with Conterno's elegant house style.
