Conterno-Fantino's 1999 Barolo Sorì Ginestra is quite a bit richer and deeper than the Vigna del Gris

this is stunning

This could therefore be considered a fresh if not cool vintage

with a long chassis of fine-grained tannins

Battenfeld Spanier, Zellerweg Schwarzen Hergott Riesling GG other_regions Conterno-Fantino's 1999 Barolo Sorì GinestraThe very smoky and flinty nose pulls you inexorably into this dense and highly structured dry riesling, but those descriptors make the wine sound austere, whereas all this is wrapped in concentrated mirabelle fruit. The entire composition making a bold statement, particularly at the long and imposingly chalky finish. From organically grown grapes. Drinkable now, but best from 2024.
