Renzo Seghesio Barolo Ginestra, 2021, 750 ml (Ned Goodwin MW Selections)
Hailing from one of the most revered and historic crus in Monforte d’Alba, this exceptional Barolo benefits from the meticulous tannin management of winemaker Roberto Valetti, who infuses the wine with the same structural finesse he practiced at Burgundy’s legendary Armand Rousseau.
Tasting Notes
The spectacular, cool-climate 2021 vintage yields a chiseled, classical masterpiece packed with aromas of dark cherry, crushed red brick, and dark cocoa. On the palate, the wine is intensely concentrated and tightly wound, showing off a dense, taut layer of imposing but beautifully managed tannins that provide superb drive, energy, and a long, savory finish.
Cellaring & Serving Advice
The 2021 Ginestra is a serious, highly ageable wine with vast time up its sleeve. It is highly recommended to keep this bottle at bay for at least 3 to 5 years, but if you cannot resist opening it today, ensure you afford it an aggressive, long decant before serving alongside rich, slow-braised beef cheeks or game meats.
