The Barolo Ginestra 'Vigna Sori Ginestra' 2020 from Conterno Fantino is a wine that speaks to the heart of Piedmont. With its deep roots in the legendary Ginestra vineyard, this Barolo offers a remarkable balance of power and elegance, showcasing the very best of Nebbiolo from one of Barolo’s most celebrated sites.

The nose opens with a beautiful bouquet of dark cherry, plum, and red currant, followed by a touch of licorice and dried herbs. As it breathes, floral notes of rose and violet begin to emerge, adding a layer of complexity. The palate is full-bodied, with firm, yet fine tannins that provide structure without overpowering the fruit. There’s a rich depth to the wine, with earthy notes of leather and tobacco intertwined with vibrant acidity, and the finish is long and graceful, lingering with a touch of spice and minerals.

This Barolo is perfect with roasted meats, truffle dishes, or aged cheeses. Conterno Fantino’s Vigna Sori Ginestra is a wine for those who appreciate the complexity and aging potential of Barolo, with the ability to evolve beautifully over the next decade or more. Whether enjoyed now with a bit of decanting or cellared for the future, it’s a remarkable expression of Barolo that reflects the unique terroir of the Ginestra vineyard.

"The 2020 Barolo Ginestra Vigna Sorì Ginestra marries finesse with power, as can happen with the best sites here. Crushed flowers, orange peel, spice, mint, white pepper and tobacco lend notable aromatic presence. The 2020 starts easy, then explodes through the mid-palate and finish, showing notable textural depth and tons of finesse." -Vinous

Robert Parker

RP 95
"The Conterno Fantino 2020 Barolo Ginestra Vigna Sorì Ginestra has a note of perfumed oak spice, pine cone, licorice root, Pastis, root beer, plump cherry fruit, baked ripeness and wild mint to close. This is a generous, complex and well-structured Barolo. The oak imprint is especially strong at this young stage, and the wine needs more time in bottle."

"Monforte d'Alba. Lustrous mid ruby with orange tinges. Impressive depth and concentration on the nose without going overboard. Becomes more minerally the longer it sits in the glass. More brooding than Vigna del Gris and with hints of oak. Polished, lush, juicy cherry fruit with finely ground tannins. A long fruit finish with the perfect dose of ripe tannins. (WS)"
