Yes, this wine is actually Conterno's more 'upscale' Barolo Ginestra bottled as the more 'entry-level' Riva del Bric! Lot # L25 8198

93 Points! The Paolo Conterno 2020 Barolo Ginestra opens to a smooth personality with dark fruit, blackcurrant and grilled herb. Despite that soft entry, the wine's power should not be underestimated. You feel it in the strong tannic texture and in the high 15.5% alcohol content. In fact, this wine has quite a mouthfeel. - Monica Larner, robertparker.com

93 Points! Expressive and exuding cherry, incense, spice and wild herb flavors, this red is juicy and instantly gratifying. Its line of dense tannins is uplifting, while the finish persists with fruity, savory and spicy elements. Best from 2028 through 2043. - Wine Spectator

This cuvée is a selection of Nebbiolo from the younger vines of the various “cru” in Barbaresco supplemented by grapes from the neighboring village of Neive.  The average age of the vines is 30 years.  The wine is fermented in stainless steel for 10 days to 2 weeks and then is refined in large oak barrels for an additional year before being bottled.  An astonishing value … as are all of the fine wines from this remarkable estate.
