Conterno Fantino Barolo Ginestra ‘Vigna Sori Ginestra’ 2019

The 2019 Barolo Ginestra Vigna Sori Ginestra is one of the most elegant wines I have ever tasted from Conterno-Fantino and the Ginestra cru. Ample and broad, with huge intensity, the Sori Ginestra is stunning. All the Ginestra signatures come through in the glass. The 2019 is deep and vibrant, yet also wonderfully fresh. There is a creaminess in the 2019 that is impossible to miss. This is so impressive. 96 points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous.

Muscles are flexing now we are in Monforte d’Alba. The old Iron Fist in A Velvet Glove. Deeper colour  typical of Conterno Fantino. Blacker fruit with licorice and a hint of tar. The first wine I have noticed any oak giving a creaminess to the nose. Much more concentration. beautifully balanced at a higher level o all previous wines. Am outstanding vintage for Conterno Fantino. Ian Cook, FWC
