Expert Reviews
Showing lovely balance from an epic vintage, the Paolo Conterno 2021 Barolo Ginestra has more dark cherry and blackberry compared to the Barolo Riva del Bric. The intensity of the fruit comes with some of those metallic-mineral notes that I got in the other wine, but here they are less prominent. A touch of saltiness aligns nicely with the chalky nature of the elegant tannins. This wine needs a few more years to flesh out. Fruit comes from a south-facing slope with 40-year-old plants. Production is 16,000 bottles.
