"Just mid ruby with orange tinges. Noble, complex yet subdued cherry with a peppery tingle. Lots of juicy but monolithic fruit with a fantastic layer of fine, gripping tannins. Embryonic. (WS) 14.5%"

"The Paolo Conterno 2020 Barolo Ginestra opens to a smooth personality with dark fruit, blackcurrant and grilled herb. Despite that soft entry, the wine's power should not be underestimated. You feel it in the strong tannic texture and in the high 15.5% alcohol content. In fact, this wine has quite a mouthfeel, especially when young. It needs more time in bottle. 16,000 bottles were released."
