If you read Antonio Galloni's review for the 2021 Castello Conti Origini Rosso, you might wonder why he didn't give it 100 points...Probably because this everyday Italian red sells for $25 and not $250! The Conti sisters reclaimed and revived a half-hectare parcel of old vines in the Novara hills to produce this field blend comprised of Nebbiolo with small parts of Vespolina, Croatina, Uva Rara, Dolcetto, and Barbera. A quintessential Langhe red with spicy cigar box and cedar aromatics, subtle cherry and red berry juiciness, a light and bright texture, refreshing acidity, and fine-grained tannins. A drop-dead gorgeous wine, don't miss the $24.99 price!
"The 2021 Origini, Conti's Nebbiolo-based blend, is outrageously beautiful. Crushed raspberry, flowers and sweet spices all soar out of the glass. Deep and wonderfully vibrant, the 2021 is layered in the glass, with remarkable depth but no sense of heaviness whatsoever. The 2021 is a truly magical wine, especially in its peer group."
