winemaker's notes:

The Barolo Ginestra Casa Mate is the expression of a potent vintage, but very elegant at the same time. It is very drinkable; the tannins are already perfectly integrated into the wine. Ginestra Casa Mate shows lots red fruit, silky tannins and floral notes, typical of Ginestra. It is perfect for those who want to enjoy a young Barolo in top form.

alcohol by volume: 14.5%
critical acclaim:

"The estate's 2007 Barolo Ginestra Vigna Casa Mate is quite a bit fresher and firmer than the Gavarini. The exuberant personality of the vintage is also a bit more balanced and restrained. This is a beautifully layered, textured Ginestra Casa Mate endowed with endless layers of dark, mineral-infused, balsamic-tinged dark fruit, all of which flow through effortlessly to a long, sumptuous finish that lasts forever. The stunning bouquet, purity of the fruit and overall balance are simply breathtaking. The Ginestra Casa Mate will be a fascinating wine to follow over the coming years and decades. Could it be a modern-day 1990? Anticipated maturity: 2017-2032. "

The Wine Advocate

"Bright red. Lively aromas of red cherry and rose petal. Bigger and richer than the Gavarini Chiniera: more mouthfilling. Ripe but dry, and a little less precise and elegant than the Gavarini. This wine's darker fruit character and more serious tannins give it a masculine aspect. Not quite the floral lift here, but long on the finish."
