Elio Grasso Barolo Ginestra Vigna Casa Matè 2009

Brooding and muscular, with layers of blackberry, leather, earth and espresso that unfold slowly in the glass. The palate shows impressive concentration, backed by firm, age-worthy tannins that grip through the extended finish. Built for patience. Cellar until 2016-2018 to see its full potential.

Elio Grasso

Elio Grasso is a benchmark Barolo estate in Monforte d'Alba, farming the Ginestra and Gavarini crus across two generations. The wines are structured, age-worthy, and among the most consistent in the appellation.
