Fabio Fantino has done a superb job in shepherding his family's estate into its second generation. In my view, the wines have never been better. Today's Barolos show greater precision and energy than the wines of the past, and I say that as someone who bought these wines heavily in the early 2000s. The 2020 Barolo harvest was relatively compact, from October 7 to 10. The wines still see quite a bit of French oak, including malolactic fermentation in barrel, but the introduction of casks in the second year of aging and an overall emphasis on freshness in the wines have been so beneficial. The 2020s are seriously impressive.

The 2020 Barolo Ginestra Vigna Sori Ginestra marries finesse with power, as can happen with the best sites here. Crushed flowers, orange peel, spice, mint, white pepper and tobacco lend notable aromatic presence. The 2020 starts easy, then explodes through the mid palate and finish, showing notable textural depth and tons of finesse. 96 points, Antonio Galloni
