The 2019 Barolo Ginestra Vigna del Gris is another terrific wine from Conterno-Fantino. Crushed flowers, cedar, pipe tobacco, mint, dried flowers and worn-in leather give the 2019 striking aromatic presence. Here, too, Fabio Conterno has done a terrific job in taming the Monforte tannins. The Gris never has the completeness of the other crus, but in 2019 it is positively striking."

This is the top name in ‘modernist” Barolo in Monforte. French barriques, short macerations and low yields all give the wines a modern, polished sheen.

There is lots of precision and attention to detail here, as well as organic farming, and to my taste these are some of the best examples of the modernist style from anywhere in Barolo.

Good terroir helps! They operate exclusively in Monforte, and release single vineyard bottlings from Sori Ginestra, a Mosconi and a Vigna del Gris.
