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.

Wicked price on the killer Paolo Conterno Riva del Bric 2015 half bottles!! 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.
