Elio Grasso is a specialist in the Cru of Ginestra, perhaps the most Serralunga-like of  Monforte's Crus. He produces three single vineyards here, including the magnificent Casa Mate. It's a perfectly south-facing vineyard that produces Grasso's darkest and most powerful wine.

Left Elio Grasso

Elio Grasso is one of the star producers in the Barolo village of Monforte. They specialize in just one Cru: Ginestra. Ginestra is one of those great Barolo sites, like Rocche or Brunate, that face southeast, for the most part, ideal for scooping up the cool morning sun. But Ginestra stands apart for its intense concentration of limestone. It is one of only 10 Crus to be designated “Exceptional” in Antonio Galloni’s vineyard rankings.

Ginestra is itself divided into several sub-Crus, and Grasso actually releases several different Barolos from each specific site – all of which are quite deep and powerful in their own particular ways.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 96
"The 2017 Barolo Ginestra Casa Matè is a dark, mysterious wine. Black cherry, menthol, tobacco, licorice, spice, new leather and pine meld together in a super-classic expression of Ginestra. Deep, rich and enveloping, the 2017 is so impressive in the early going. Here, too, the finesse of the tannins is remarkable." -Antonio Galloni
