Seven hectares of vineyards lie within the historic Ginestra cru in Monforte d’Alba, just south of Serralunga. Sitting between 300 and 350 meters above sea level, the terrain—rich in limestone marl and exposed to the south and southeast—provides abundant sunlight and ideal thermal conditions for perfect ripening. The original cellar, also built in 1886, remains at the heart of the estate. Here, traditional large French oak casks are used alongside modern equipment, embodying a thoughtful balance between heritage and innovation.
In great vintages, Ginestra is celebrated for producing wines of remarkable intensity, depth, and structure, yet always with a sense of balance and grace. The resulting Barolos from Paolo Conterno age beautifully, expressing both the power of their terroir and the timeless craftsmanship of a family devoted to its land.

Wow, this is really quite a wine. The 2010 Barolo Riserva Ginestra is guided by three lucky stars: First, it is made by an excellent producer. Second, it comes from an excellent vintage. And third, it comes from an excellent vineyard site. This is a stunning achievement that is teeming with life, intensity, elegance, pedigree and sheer excitement. The bouquet achieves impressive balance with fruit, spice, mineral and tertiary tones that are all played forward with equal intensity. There is a spot of sweetness on the close (with 15% alcohol) that adds to the volume and fullness of the mouthfeel. This wine merits a special place at the back of your cellar where it can age undisturbed for the next decade or two. Only 4,000 bottles exist. - Monica Larner

Not surprisingly, the 2010 Barolo Ginestra Riserva is the most overt and explosive Barolo in this range. Violets, lavender, blue/black fruit, smoke and licorice burst from the glass. The 2010 is wonderfully alive, with tons of Ginestra power and personality to burn. Today, the 2010 has the potential to develop into a thrilling Barolo.Antonio Galloni1st January 2014
