Conterno Fantino, Langhe, Monpra 2000 Fortified and sharing wine--told as very92 CellarTracker Terrific, lively, complex Piedmont nose full of mature red fruit, earth, tar, mineral and sandalwood. Palate is medium rich with mature, dried fruit. Earth notes provide a great accent. Lively acidity provides energy and lift. Fine grained tannin still providing grip on the back palate.
