Vinous Antonio Galloni - 01 Oct 20
The 2016 Barolo Ginestra captures all of the breadth and power of this highly regarded Monforte site. Black cherry, orange peel, dark spice, menthol and licorice are all wrapped together. Rich and potent, with firm tannins and a classic sense of structure, the 2016 bristles with real intensity in all of its dimensions. There is real substance and plenty of personality here.

Monforte d’Alba. Will be released only in 2021, because Ginestra needs more time and is conceived as Riserva quality.Lustrous mid ruby. Intense nose of brooding, fresh, ripe fruit and saline-minerally notes. Succulent, concentrated and perfectly balanced with supple acidity and rich, coating tannins on the finish. Amazing length and freshness. (WS)

Barolo

Barolo, the "King of Wines," is a prestigious red from Piedmont, Italy, made exclusively from Nebbiolo grapes. Known for deep complexity, Barolo offers rich flavours of dark cherries, roses, truffles, and spices, with high acidity and firm tannins. It ages exceptionally well, evolving in depth and nuance. Barolo's diverse terroirs create a range of styles, from powerful to delicate. Top producers include Gaja, Bruno Giacosa, Giuseppe Rinaldi, and Marchesi di Barolo, all of whom exemplify Barolo's tradition and quality.
