Elio Grasso, Barolo Ginestra Casa Mate, 2022 female a younger-vine Trousseau from aThe Ginestra vineyard in Monforte d'Alba is one of Barolo's most respected crus a large, complex hillside that produces wines of unusual structure and depth. Elio Grasso's 'Casa Mat' is their historic parcel within Ginestra, farmed on the compact Helvetian soils that give this part of the vineyard particular intensity and grip. Where Gavarini is open and approachable, Ginestra Casa Mat is more concentrated, more tannic, and more built for the cellar.
