The 2017 Barolo Ginestra from Paolo Conterno, a Monforte d’Alba cru, will exhibit the characteristic power and structure of its origin. On the nose, expect intense aromas of red cherry, raspberry, and dried rose petals, interwoven with notes of licorice, tar, and forest floor, with hints of spice from oak aging. The palate will be full-bodied with firm, chewy tannins and vibrant acidity, carrying concentrated flavors of dark red fruit, plum, and earthy undertones. The finish will be long, complex, and persistent, showcasing the wine’s depth and potential for evolution.
