“The 2014 Barolo Castelletto Vigna Pressenda kicks off this flight of 2014 Barolos at Conterno-Fantino. Unusually silky and gracious for a Castelletto Barolo, the Pressenda is simply gorgeous. In 2014, the more floral, perfumed side of this Monforte cru comes through. Beautifully persistent and impeccable in its balance, the 2014 Pressenda is a winner.” -Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com, Feb. 2018
