WineSaint

Dark plum, licorice and a trace of tar, classic Dolcetto, cleanly rendered. Mid-weight with soft, approachable tannins and enough brightness to keep things lively through a meal. Elio Grasso isn't chasing concentration here; the appeal is in the polish and the ease of it, varietal character delivered with quiet confidence.

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.
