The 2001 Barolo Riserva Ginestra hits the palate with a burst of intense dark fruit, but the wine quickly shows more advanced, oxidative tones throughout. This is an example of a wine where the bouquet has matured at a faster rate than the fruit and tannins.

Conterno's 2001 Barolo Riserva Ginestra captures the essence of one of Barolo's grand cru' vineyards. It shows the classic notes of blackberries, prunes, spices, menthol, tar and licorice in a sumptuous, full-bodied style. The tannins remain firm, and the prominent Ginestra acidity is on display, but this is a gorgeous expression of Nebbiolo at its very finest.
