Barolo DOCG Ginestra 'Casa Mate' 2019 (750 ml.) Elio Grasso
The Barolo 'Ginestra Casa Maté' by Elio Grasso is a great red wine produced from vineyards approximately 40 years old, coming from the 3 hectares of the Ginestra cru, one of the most representative hills of the entire Monforte d’Alba territory. This area historically produces reds that are more elegant and easier to drink compared to the Barolo from the 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 fruits, such as cherry and raspberry, dried flowers, mint, and dark spices. It will reach perfect expressive maturity in a few years.

THE COMPANY
Elio Grasso has its winery in Località Ginestra in the municipality of Monforte d’Alba, in the heart of the Barolo denomination. An interesting family-run reality, with vineyards that have been passed down from generation to generation, along with the precious farming experience of cultivating the land. It produces a range of wines with a classic style, fully respecting the traditions of the territory. The strong connection to the roots and history has led Elio Grasso to focus on respecting ancient customs, with the aim of returning to produce wines that are true to the great local terroir. Only 18 of the 42 hectares of the estate are dedicated to viticulture while the rest is left as woods and meadows, to create an environment rich in natural biodiversity. The company's philosophy aims to preserve a typically peasant soul, tied to the land, nature, and its ancestral rhythms. Thanks to a deep knowledge of the territory and the desire to enhance the characteristics of each single plot, since the 1980s each vineyard has been managed, harvested, and vinified separately, in order to present a range of labels that highlight the various facets of the terroir. The winery has been equipped with small-sized tanks for parcel vinification, which takes place in a simple and delicate manner. The same care is applied to the aging process, which is carried out by allowing the wine all the time it needs to evolve slowly before being bottled.
