A fresh, expressive version, featuring ripe cherry, plum, licorice, leather, tar and spice aromas and flavors. The sweetness of the ripe fruit is offset by firm, dusty tannins, yet in the end this is balanced and long. Very vibrant. Best from 2023 through 2042. 1,500 cases made, 250 cases imported.

The vines that bore fruit for the 2015 Barolo Riva del Bric are a bit younger in this site compared to those used for the Ginestra. This Barolo is great, but it is without the same complexity you get in the other one. It's a more sensible expression of Nebbiolo, with thick layers of black fruit followed by tar, moist earth and savory tobacco. It shows similar density and thickness of fiber that you get in the Ginestra cru, only the wine's complexity is less articulate and nuanced. Drink it in the medium term after three to 3-5 of bottle aging.

The 2015 Barolo Riva del Bric is radiant, rich and enveloping, and yet retains a gorgeous sense of Nebbiolo classicism. Macerated cherry, red plum, mocha, wild flowers, spice and new leather all flesh out in a sumptuous, wonderfully expressive Barolo. With a bit of air, the 2015 is exquisitely delicious now, but it will be even better in a few years' time. The 2015 is bold and juicy, but not overdone.

Aromas of plums and berries with hints of flowers. Medium body, tight and chewy tannins and a delicious finish. There’s reserve and finesse to the structure. Drink from 2022.

Wicked price on the killer Paolo Conterno Riva del Bric 2015. The warm vintage provided plenty of sweet fruit to balance the deep structure and crisp acidity. Wine Spectator loved this with a nice 93 point review, "A fresh, expressive version, featuring ripe cherry, plum, licorice, leather, tar and spice aromas and flavors.

About the Producer
It all started way back in 1886, when Paolo Conterno founded the Casa della Ginestra, dedicated to the production of Nebbiolo, Barbera and Dolcetto wines. An indefatigable worker with a mind of great intuition, he devoted the most favorable parts of the Ginestra hillside to the growing of the grapes, subdividing them by type, exposure and terrain. Furthermore, he had the foresight to predict the existence of a market of connoisseurs of superior quality products, selling his own wine in wooden kegs and produced by himself in his own cellar. Paolo was succeeded by his son Carlo and his wife Giuseppina. The company was subsequently run by Paolo and Caterina Conterno and today the company is managed by their son Giorgio.
