Monforte d’Alba. Certified organic (CCPB). Lustrous mid ruby. Deep, brooding and balsamic nose with hints of black cardamom. Lifted and exotically perfumed. Pure, layered cherry and raspberry fruit integrated seamlessly with the gravelly tannins. Very long, mouth-filling and complex. (WS)

The Conterno Fantino 2021 Barolo Ginestra Vigna Sorì Ginestra shows a balanced display of dark fruit, crushed rose, rust and black licorice. This wine offers a special layer of complexity, when compared to the others in this portfolio, that is underlined by rich texture. It shows generous volume and depth, all backed by firm but chalky tannins. Fruit maturity is taken to impressive heights while maintaining the wine's inner energy.

The 2021 Barolo Ginestra Vigna Sorì Ginestra is a super-classic wine from Conterno-Fantino. Soaring, high-toned aromatics make a strong first impression. Spice, blood orange, new leather and cedar top notes open first. Bright and focused, with terrific persistence, Sorì Ginestra shows the energy of this site in spades. Time in the glass brings out shades of exotic spice and citrus peel that are so beguiling.
