Monforte’s crown jewel, ‘Ginestra’ in the hands of Diego Conterno – a native talent who grew up literally in this vineyard – is otherworldly. This single-vineyard Barolo wine, sourced from the ‘Sori’ or 100% south-facing portion of ‘Ginestra,’ is bold, beautiful and seemingly eternal. Aromas of red and black cherries, bramble fruit, soy, warm spice. Medium-bodied; structured yet savory tannins, long.

2019 vintage. Definite woofer. Medium body with aggressive, vengeful tannins but surmised that when I picked it up approx two weeks ago. Tonight's outfit slightly scattered around the room currently but will be well put together and dressed to kill starting in about 4-5 years. Need to squirrel away a few more of these acorns. Hey, you've got to hide your love away. 11.26.24.
