About this Item
Barolo Ginestra 2013
6 (1 x 6) 750ml
Founded in 1886 by Paolo Conterno at his Casa della Ginestra in Monforte d'Alba - one of the first Langhe growers to sell wine directly from the cellar to consumers - the estate is now run by Giorgio Conterno across 7 hectares of south-facing Ginestra MGA at 300 to 350 metres on steep Helvetian clay-marl soils. Extended macerations and large French oak casks remain the foundation of the traditional house style. The 2013 Barolo vintage is widely regarded as one of the finest recent years, a cooler and classically proportioned growing season producing wines of great elegance and aging potential. Monica Larner from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate gave it a rating of 95, and Antonio Galloni from Vinous gave it a rating of 91.
