Ginestra Barolo DOCG

Ginestra Barolo DOCG displays a dark garnet red colour. The nose is elegant and round, with lingering fruity, spicy, balsamic, and mineral undertones. On the palate, it is full-bodied and warm, with powerful aromas and well-balanced flavours. The finish is long and intense. Well suited to lengthy ageing, it can develop over a cellar life of more than fifteen years.
