NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Barolo Sorì Ginestra from Conterno Fantino is a masterful expression of the Nebbiolo grape.On the nose, it reveals aromas of ripe red cherries, sweet spices, leather, and tobacco. On the palate, it is full-bodied with a dense structure yet well balanced with soft tannins and hints of licorice. The finish is long and persistent with notes of violets and baking spices. An impressive and complex expression of Barolo.
