Silky at first and then forceful, Conterno Fantino’s 2020 Barolo Sorì Ginestra layers ripe red cherry and plum with cedar, cinnamon, dried flowers and mint over a core of iron-tinged earth and spice. Vibrant acidity and firm, finely etched tannins drive a long, resonant finish that already shows impressive depth but clearly promises much more with time in bottle.

Conterno Fantino’s Barolo Sorì Ginestra is a single‑vineyard Nebbiolo from the historic Ginestra cru in Monforte d’Alba—planted on south‑facing (“Sorì”) slopes with sandy‑silt‑clay soils—and is made in an elegant, ageworthy style with floral (violet/rose), red‑cherry and underbrush notes wrapped in fine, persistent tannins after maturation in French oak; it’s a benchmark expression of the site’s perfume and savory depth.
