This item is available for pre-arrival.
Wine Spectator: 95 Points
A graceful, elegant red, featuring rose, strawberry, currant and cherry aromas and flavors. Reveals an underlying mineral streak and dovetails nicely on the finish, finding harmony and length. An excellent interpretation of the vintage.
Wine Advocate: 95 Points
From a vineyard located across from Gavarini Chiniera, this is a slightly more robust and concentrated wine. The 2018 Barolo Ginestra Casa Maté sources its fruit from a position at a slightly lower elevation with a bigger component of clay in the soils. The south and southeast-facing hillside is also more open to the horizon. These conditions give the Ginestra Casa Maté a broad texture and rich flavors of black and purple fruits. The wine is compact with dense texture that will relax over the next 10 years of age.
James Suckling: 94 Points
Aromas of dried and fresh strawberries with some tar and cedar follow through to a medium to full body with chewy tannins that are polished and attractive. Give this three or four years to come more together, but a pretty wine for the vintage.
