Ample and creamy on the palate, with tremendous depth, the 2016 Barolo Ginestra Casa Mate is super impressive, even in the early going. Next to the Gavarini Chiniera, the Ginestra Casa Mate is a Barolo of textural resonance and volume. Black cherry, plum and a range of balsamic notes infuse the 2016 with tons of character. The is one of the real standouts of the year.
