12 Bottles of Barolo 'Ginestra Riserva' Paolo Conterno 2009 Piemonte, Italy Founded by Paolo Conterno in 1886, it was Paolo’s son Carlo who started to bottle the estate’s own production in small quantities. Today the estate, spanning 10 ha which are mainly centred around the fabulous Ginestra Cru of Monforte, is managed by the fourth generation of Conternos, Giorgio and Marisa. The Barolo are aged in large 35hl French oak barrels for at least 3 years followed by a further 6-12 months in bottle, whilst the Barolo Riserva is aged for 4 year in barrel and 12 months in bottle. Thanks to Giorgio and Marisa the plaudits have been streaming in of late. They seem to have an extraordinary ability to take the stout, mineral and sturdy form Monforte Baroli so often have and craft them in to something very polished without loss of character. This has now become an exciting Barolo estate well worth following. From South facing vines in the stellar Ginestra Cru of Monforte situated at between 300-350 metres above sea level, the 'Ginestra Riserva' is sourced from particular plots in the middle and top of the slope of Ginestra where the oldest vines are. Bags of old vines concentration and richness with a 2009 warmth and generosity. Dark, dense meaty flavours with a very serious structure and bright mineral, iron and undergrowth notes. Long powerful and multi-layered. Sourced direct from winemaker. In Original Wooden Cases. Lot is subject to VAT on the hammer price.
