Profile

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-term cellaring, drink by 2031.

Critic awards

The organic Conterno Fantino 2021 Langhe Nebbiolo Ginestrino has a spicy note of white pepper along with cassis and blue flower. This is an easy expression of Nebbiolo that succeeds both in terms of balance and varietal intensity. There is a hint of sweet cinnamon on the close.

— 92 points, Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The 2021 Langhe Nebbiolo Ginestrino is a blend of young vine fruit from the estate's four core holdings, plus Munie and a touch from Ornati, which is just outside the Barolo appellation. Medium in body and gracious, the Langhe Nebbiolo is just gorgeous. Bright acids perk up a core of red Nebbiolo fruit, crushed rose petal, mint and orange zest.

— 92 points, Antonio Galloni - Vinous

Ripe, red-fruited character with spiced citrus peel, cinnamon and dried flowers. Medium-bodied, dry and chalky with a vivid and fluid red berry palate. Flavorful finish.
