Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 96
"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)"
