2018 was a vintage that produced beautifully elegant Barolo, of which the Vigna del Gris is the epitome. It is just coming into maturity, and will last for many years to come. It has a transparent brick red colour, and welcoming notes of ripe fruit, spicy oak, liquorice and fruit leather. On the palate, it has focused, balanced, delineated flavours, with superb freshness and length. Giving this wine some air helps bring out its complexity.

Press Review
95/100 - Dense nose with licorice-tinged, crushed raspberries and blackberries. Full-bodied and full-fruited palate, then there’s a steady, velvety-tannin build through the long finish. Really well structured and polished. Showing great promise. Excellent 2018 from the Monforte d’Alba zone. Give it the time it needs to show its best. Try after 2025.
Press Review
94/100 - The 2018 Barolo Ginestra Vigna del Gris is elegant and woven tightly together with small berry fruits, redcurrant, wild lilac and violet, crushed stone and licorice root. With fruit from Monforte d'Alba, the wine is streamlined and silky, but you also sense the power and tightness of the inner fiber that locks it all together with seamless precision.
