Barolo Ginestra

Full

Cork

The estate’s single-vineyard Barolos have been made since 1982, and despite their close proximity, their personalities are patently distinct and identifiable even in the parched, hot 2022 vintage. Casa Maté conveys a more mature fruit and balsamic character compared to Gavarini Chiniera but is not lacking in freshness. Mint, liquorice and tea waft temptingly, and the palate is packed with dark currant brambles and dusty mineral undertones. Tight-knit tannins create a sizzle of tension in this layered, sophisticated and cellarworthy wine.
