The 2019 Langhe Nebbiolo Ginestrino is forthcoming and bright with honest aromas that underline forest fruit and wild cherry. This is a pleasurable and easy-drinking wine that shows a mid-weight approach with plenty of bitter almond, tar and pressed violets that appear as background shadings. Fresh acidity makes this a great choice to pair with a creamy beef stroganoff or something similar. Production is 31,350 bottles.

Ginestrino is sourced from twenty five year old vines form the Ornati cru in Monforte, very close to the Barolo zone. In challenging years, fruit from their other vineyards is declassified and the production of Ginestrino increases. Aged ten months in a combination of cask and old barriques, it is bright ruby with garnet highlights, the nose rich with rose and peach stones. The palate is round with well balanced varietal tannins. A ‘baby Barolo’ that rewards short-medium term cellaring.
