Opening to a velvety dark appearance, the Paolo Conterno 2019 Barbera d'Alba La Ginestra (with 9,000 bottles made) shows dark fruit aromas and baked plum with light spice and tarry smoke. This vintage offers medium-rich concentration and a pretty touch of freshness on the close.

A nice companion to a Toulouse-style cassoulet, the Paolo Conterno 2018 Barbera d'Alba La Ginestra shows depth and richness that warms over all the senses. With ripe, luscious fruit and a 15% alcohol content, the wine is broad and amply fleshed out showing dark blackberry, cherry confit, spice and baked plum. There is a point of sweetness and softness on the close, yet the natural freshness of the Barbera grape also comes through, especially on the finish. This was a release of about 9,000 bottles.

Close to or at its peak, this mature red boasts steeped plum, boysenberry and pomegranate flavors, with a hint of resin and almond. Firms up on the lightly astringent finish. Drink now. 915 cases made, 175 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barbera d'Alba Select to Add
