2020 Barolo, Ginestra, Renzo Seghesio, Piedmont, Italy

Description

This comes from the upper portion of Ginestra, from west-facing vines, that benefit from afternoon sun. The wine underwent 32 days’ maceration, including fermentation. Malolactic conversion took place in stainless steel. The submerging of the cap meant that during racking, the must was much cleaner, and there was an overall sense of precision. The 2020 Ginestra is strong and intense, but more woven than brooding. There are grippy tannins and a bold structure, with lots of dark berries, liquorice and blood orange.

Critics reviews

Kerin O'Keefe 93/100
Aromas of crushed botanical herb, eucalyptus, blue flower and spice form the nose on the elegant 2020 Ginestra from Renzo Seghesio. Aged in Slavonian casks, the savory palate delivers ripe Marasca cherry, blood orange, licorice and ground clove framed in polished tannins. Fresh acidity keeps it balanced. Showing the forward nature of the vintage, this is already accessible but will be even better in a year or two.Drink 2026 - 2032Kerin O'Keefe, KerinOKeefe.com (April 2024)

About this wine

Nebbiolo

Nebbiolo is the grape behind the Barolo and Barbaresco wines and is hardly ever seen outside the confines of Piedmont. It takes its name from "nebbia" which is Italian for fog, a frequent phenomenon in the region.

Barolo

Barolo

Piedmont's most famous wine DOCG (Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita), Barolo is renowned for producing Italy's finest reds from 100 percent Nebbiolo. The Barolo appellation was formalised in 1966 at around 1,700 hectares, and has an exceptional terroir with almost every village perched on its own hill. The climate is continental, with an extended summer and autumn enabling the fickle Nebbiolo to achieve perfect ripeness.
