Conterno Fantino Barolo Vigna del Gris 2021
Rich, mouth-filling, and immediately compelling, the 2021 Ginestra delivers is already showing generosity of fruit and classic Barolo structure. A lifted floral nose leads into layers of black cherry, leather, fennel, dried herbs, and earthy spice. The palate is remarkably vibrant, with chewy tannins and a freshness that keep the wine energetic and precise. This beauty is already fun, fruity, and undeniably crowd-pleasing, but the underlying architecture suggest this will be even more rewarding with 2–3 years of patience. Exceptionally well built and a stunning value for the pedigree.
