This vintage was one of the hottest and driest on record for Piedmont, creating a \"solar\" wine that is rich, deep, and unashamedly bold. While many producers struggled with the heat, the Conterno family used their high-altitude Bussia plots to ensure the wine didn't turn into \"raisin juice.\" The result is a Quartetto that feels more like a \"Super Tuscan\" in spirit—fleshy, powerful, and incredibly satisfying from the very first sip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003eThe Nose\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003eThe aromatics on the 2022 are \"wide\" and opulent. You’ll find a massive core of \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"80\"\u003ebaked black cherries and mission figs\u003c\/b\u003e. Because of the ripeness of the Syrah and Merlot in this heat, there are prominent notes of \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"210\"\u003edark chocolate, roasted coffee beans, and scorched earth\u003c\/b\u003e. The Nebbiolo and Pinot Noir contribute a sweet, floral \"top note\" of \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"337\"\u003edried hibiscus and blood orange\u003c\/b\u003e, preventing the darker fruits from becoming too heavy.

It is noticeably more full-bodied than the 2021, with a \"glycerol\" richness that coats the tongue. You’ll taste \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"153\"\u003eblackberry jam, plum, and a distinct touch of licorice\u003c\/b\u003e. The tannins are ripe and \"dusty\"—they have plenty of volume but lack any aggressive bite. The finish is long and warming, with a lingering taste of \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"357\"\u003esweet spice and vanilla\u003c\/b\u003e from the oak.
