Tasting Notes

The 2015 Barolo Ginestra shows real complexity and depth. It exudes a profound nature in general. Mineral tones lead the clean, fresh entry, followed by more savory notes. This is from Paolo Conterno's home vineyard cru, with vines planted right up to the edges of the winery and the family house. This Barolo is nuanced and multifaceted, and it will stand up to a couple of decades in the cellar. 2022-2040

The dark-berry and fresh mushroom aromas are compelling in this wine. Full-bodied, tight and chewy with wonderful texture and tannins. Solid 2015. Drink in 2022.

Mid crimson. Mossy note on the nose. Sweet start and very sweet, jewelly impact. Then masses of acid (particularly), ash and tannin. Pretty long. Hint of port! 2023-2032
