Reviews

Very floral with lavender, violets and dark fruit. Medium-to full-bodied with tannins that build on the palate, particularly the middle palate. Very long and intense. Transparent fruit and evident terroir here. Try after 2025.
Conca is not favoured by warm vintages but performs a bit better than nearby Arborina in the cooler years. Nevertheless, this 2017 shows red fruits, buttery notes, pencil lead and Pinot-like grace. Quite light in body, it has a silky texture and moderate acidity. This is a super-refined wine lacking a bit of the power and concentration expected from a Barolo. Its liquorice finish enhances the glass.
