"Conterno's 2017 Barolo Ginestra is a wine of gravitas and pure power. All of the muscle of Ginestra comes through loud and clear. I am not sure the tannins will ever fully soften - this is Ginestra after all - but there is certainly plenty of depth. To be honest, today I find the Comune bottling to have better balance and more finesse."

"Just mid ruby. Deep, slumbering multi-layered nose with hints of cherry, tea leaves and minerals. Supple, concentrated, elegant and generous all at the same time. Elegant and long and with great focus and finesse. (WS)"
