The 2015 Barolo Ginestra Riserva (in a heavy glass bottle) has a sweet note of dried currant or kirsch that evokes a vintage that saw a lot of summer sunshine and warm temperatures. The 2015 vintage regularly delivers roundness and exuberance that I think you can recognize across the appellation. This Riserva is plump and concentrated with extra fruit weight. It shows an unfortunate 15.5% alcohol content, which is a lot for a grape as delicately nuanced as Nebbiolo. Production is 4,000 bottles.

Notes of dried red berries, dried citrus peel, chocolate and dried herbs with some savory and earthy character. Hints of tea leaves and undergrowth. Medium- to full-bodied, dry and juicy with fine, slightly chewy tannins. It shows austerity but with a refined and polished nature. Lingering and broad. Shows focus and harmony. Better after 2025.

A smoky, spicy version, this red evokes flavors of cherry, earth, smoky spices and iron. Firm and powerful, with a wide swath of muscular tannins, this is well-balanced overall, but could use a bit more time to integrate the tannins. Best from 2025 through 2047. 333 cases made, 100 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add
