About the Paolo Conterno Ginestra Barolo 2019
Paolo Conterno Ginestra Barolo 2019 is a muscular, highly expressive expression of Nebbiolo born from one of Monforte d'Alba's most celebrated cru vineyards. Sourced from south-facing, 30-year-old vines rooted in steep, clayey-calcareous soils, this wine beautifully capitalizes on the exceptional 2019 vintage. To shape its traditional character and ensure longevity, the juice undergoes an extended 18-to-25-day skin maceration before aging for 36 months in large, old French oak casks (botti). In the glass, it presents a deep dark garnet-red color. The bouquet is highly perfumed and complex, offering varietal notes of wild cherry, plum skins, and violet petals, seamlessly intertwined with sweet tobacco, tar, and eucalyptus. On the palate, it is full-bodied, rich, and generous ($15\%$ to $15.5\%$ ABV), displaying immense mid-palate concentration and an iron-like core of dusty, structured tannins. A vibrant line of natural acidity carries the succulent fruit effortlessly into a long, dramatic, and intensely mineral-driven finish.
Food Pairing: Brasato al Barolo (beef braised in Barolo), roasted lamb shoulder with herbs, wild boar ragù, or truffle risotto.
