Conterno’s 2006 Barolo Riserva Ginestra shows the broad shoulders and pure structure of the vintage. Cinnamon, flowers, herbs and dark fruit flesh out as this powerful Barolo flows from the glass. The 2006 Riserva is deep and intense from start to finish. This is a classic and representative interpretation of Ginestra. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2026.
