Score 88/100 · Drink 2028-2038, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Jan 2023

The 2018 Barolo Ginestra Casa Matè has more body than the Gavarini, but also larger-grained tannins that are pretty impenetrable. Let's see what happens in time.

Score 95/100 · Drink 2025-2048, Monica Larner, Wine Advocate, Jun 2022

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. Production is 12,000 bottles.
