Paolo Conterno, Barolo Riva Del Bric other_regions the 2023 Chardonnay Charles HeintzPaolo Conterno's 2012 Barolo Riva del Bric is deep and powerful. Sweet red cherry, tobacco, licorice, dried flowers and menthol give the 2012 good aromatic complexity and nuance throughout. Although a bit forward in its bouquet, the 2012 retains plenty of depth and enough structure to drink well for at least a number of years. Antonio Galloni
