Critic Reviews

94 Points, Audrey Frick, JebDunnuck.com: "The ruby-colored 2020 Barolo Ginestra Vigna Del Gris, which is sourced from 30-year-old vines, is floral and inviting with perfumed layers of mixed berries, preserved strawberries, wet stones, and herbes de Provence. The palate offers more structure and more pronounced citrus orange tones, with ripe tannins and a great finish. This will be a very appealing drink over the next 12-15 years. (Drink between 2024-2039)" 05/24

96 Points, James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com: "A pretty, layered aroma and elegant, vibrant palate add up to greatness in this structured, complex and age-worthy wine. Balsam, rose petals, violets and cinnamon meet snappy sour cherry, raspberry and star anise on the palate. Best from 2028 and onwards." 01/24

95 Points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous: "The 2020 Barolo Ginestra Vigna del Gris is ample and resonant in this tasting. As has been the case for a few years now, the Vigna del Gris is marked by finessed tannins, likely a result of older vines and more favorable weather for cooler sites like this one. Dark and ample, with gorgeous textural depth. the Vigna del Gris is so expressive in this tasting. It is another impeccable wine from Conterno-Fantino. Plum, blood orange, chalk and white pepper linger on the persistent finish. (Drink between 2026-2040)" 01/24

94 Points, Monica Larner, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The 2020 Barolo Ginestra Vigna del Gris exhibits ripe fruit, dried cherry skin, plum, oak spice, medicinal cherry or cola, classic baking spice and coconut flakes. There is plenty of fruit on the palate, and it's not going anywhere soon, so you have some legroom for aging. The acidity and the tannins are balanced, and only the oak feels a little too prominent. Give it time. 9,000 bottles were made." 04/24
