Tasting Notes

From 40-year-old vines that enjoy southern exposures, the 2010 Barolo Sori Ginestra is the estate's most complete and powerful wine. You can tell that the wine is shaped by rich, compact soils similar to what is found in the Mosconi cru. Barolo Sori Ginestra is a generous, richly textured wine with juicy tannins and a succulent mouthfeel. The tannins are not aggressive, but they do leave their mark. Overall, the wine's sugars, alcohol, fruit and acidity are expertly balanced. Drink: 2017-2033.
