Livia Fontana 2007 Nebbiolo (Barolo)
- $40
91 Livia Fontana 2007 Barolo; $40. Livia Fontana’s beautiful Barolo opens with delicate aromas of cola, balsam, violets and licorice that carry forth a very satisfying sensation of intensity and elegance. At the back of that first whiff are steady tones of small fruit, spice and leather. The tannins are tight but also polished in nature.

Livia Fontana 2006 Villero Nebbiolo (Barolo)
- $50
Livia Fontana’s Barolo from the Villero vineyard opens with a slightly aged appearance that sees brown and amber coloring. The wine’s bouquet is similarly evolved with tones of candied fruit, smoked meat, licorice and crushed stone. It is, however, very youthful and bright in the mouth.

Livia Fontana 2007 Villero Nebbiolo (Barolo)
- $45
Blackberries, toasted hazelnut, black licorice, Spanish cedar and red currants open the nose of this well-shaped and elegant wine. The Nebbiolo grape is capable of showing nuanced complexity and depth and Barolo Villero demonstrates this very nicely. Drink after 2018.
