Ginestra
Ginestra is a Monforte d'Alba MGA that helps drinkers connect Barolo geography with structure. Wines from the area are often described through darker fruit, dried herbs, earth, licorice, spice, and firm tannins. The MGA term gives a more precise origin than Barolo or Monforte alone while preserving the same DOCG frame.
