Elio Grasso Barolo Ginestra Casa Matè 2013

Dense and brooding, with cassis, tar and crushed violets locked behind formidable tannin. The structure dominates now, though glimpses of Ginestra's power emerge with air. Needs serious cellaring to shed its austere armor and reveal the complexity within. Drink 2028-2035.

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.
