Barolo DOCG 'Ginestra Casa Mate' 2019 (750 ml.) - Elio Grasso
Barolo 'Ginestra Casa Maté' by Elio Grasso is a great red produced from approximately 40-year-old vineyards from the 3 hectares of the Ginestra cru, one of the most representative hills of the entire Monforte d'Alba area. This area historically gives rise to reds that are more elegant and easier to drink than the Barolos of nearby Serralunga d'Alba. It is aged for about 30 months in Slavonian oak barrels and refined in the bottle for another 8-10 months. It is a splendid example of aromatic finesse and elegance well integrated with the characteristic structure and austerity of Piedmontese wines. Intense sensations of ripe red fruit, such as cherry and raspberry, dried flowers, mint and dark spices. It will reach perfect expressive maturity in a few years.

Elio Grasso has his cellar in Località Ginestra in the municipality of Monforte d'Alba, in the heart of the Barolo appellation. Interesting reality of a family nature, with vineyards that have been handed down from generation to generation, together with the precious peasant experience of cultivating the land. It produces a range of wines with a classic style, in full respect of the traditions of the territory. The strong link with the roots and with history has led Elio Grasso to put respect for ancient customs back at the center of his work, with the intention of returning to producing wines faithful to the great local terroir. Only 18 of the 42 hectares of the estate are dedicated to viticulture while the rest is left to woods and meadows, to create an environment rich in natural biodiversity. The company philosophy wanted to preserve a typically peasant soul, linked to the land, nature and its ancestral rhythms. Thanks to a deep knowledge of the territory and with the desire to enhance the characteristics of each single parcel, since the 80s each vineyard has been managed, harvested and vinified separately, in order to be able to present a range of labels, which highlight the various facets of the terroir. The cellar has been equipped with small tanks for parcel vinification, which takes place in a simple and delicate way. The same care is applied to the refinements, which are made by leaving the wine all the time necessary to slowly evolve before being bottled.
