Conterno Fantino Barolo Ginestra Vigna del Gris 2021
DOZEN: $2,700.00 or $225.00 each
The 2021 Barolo Ginestra Vigna del Gris captures a more delicate, sensual side of Ginestra. Deep and pliant in the glass, it offers gorgeous mid-palate pliancy and fine overall depth. The 2021 is a seriously impressive Barolo of substance and presence. The balance of fruit, acid and textural resonance makes it incredibly appealing in the early going. ANTONIO GALLONI
Opening to aromas of dried cherry and blackcurrant, the organic Conterno Fantino 2021 Barolo Ginestra Vigna del Gris makes a fleshy and enriched appearance with hints of black licorice, tar and crushed rose at the back. The wine has a softer, velvety quality of tannins that makes it slightly more approachable in the medium term, but I nevertheless recommend more bottle age. (95) MONICA LARNER
A perfumed Barolo with mint, licorice, graphite, earth, strawberries and fresh red cherries on the nose. Full-bodied and full of fruit concentration that coats the tannins. Velvety on the mid-palate, with integrated, lifted acidity. (97) JAMES SUCKLING
