Paolo Conterno, Barolo Ginestra other_regions newly turned earth and gameThe 2013 Barolo Ginestra shows grace and purity, with significant power at the back that is partially fueled by the wine's well integrated alcohol (recorded at 15%). The wine's texture is compact, and the flavor knitting is tight and carefully detailed. These qualities bode very well for the future evolution of this vintage that will undoubtedly soften and flesh out with more time in the bottle.
