Tasting notes
The 2014 Barolo Ginestra Vigna del Gris is a generous and expressive wine that puts forth fleshy dark fruit, red rose and dried lavender. In fact, those floral notes are the wine's lasting signature, as they are very pronounced in this cooler vintage. Spice, leather and campfire ash follow in close proximity. The best part is the finale that offers crunch, snap and sparkle.

Monforte d’Alba. Tasted blind. Surprisingly deep ruby for this cool and rainy vintage and with orange tinges. Brooding, dark nose with minerally hints. Juicy, youthful palate and gorgeous rich layer of chewy tannins. Long and precise and mouth-filling and yet light of touch. (WS)
The 2014 Barolo Vigna del Gris is deep, unctuous and surprisingly concentrated for this wine, which so often tends to be on the lighter side. The combination of intensely ripe fruit and sweet, ripe tannins gives the Gris its exotic, alluring personality. In 2014, the Gris shows a spiced, balsamic-infused profile that is unusual for this wine.
