2016 A. & G. Fantino Barolo Bussia Cascina Dardi, Piedmont, Italy
ABOUT THIS WINEBrothers Alessandro and Gian Natale Fantino are proud proprietors of several hectares in a south-facing section of Monforte d’Alba’s fabled Bussia cru known as Dardi, named for the family’s old farmhouse, they have the terroir essentials to craft a grandiose Nebbiolo for the ages.
