Intensity defines the 2021 Conterno Fantino Barolo Sorì Ginestra, with soaring aromatics of red cherry, dried flowers and sweet spices over hints of leather and stone. The palate is powerful yet precise, driven by bright acidity and tightly woven, ripe tannins that frame its pure fruit and long, energetic finish; this is a serious, structured Ginestra that crackles with tension and promise.
Braised beef short ribs; Tajarin with white truffle; Aged Parmigiano Reggiano

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.
