Elio Grasso

The 2018 Elio Grasso Barolos will give readers a very good idea of how the challenges of the growing season played out in different sites. Specifically, the Gavarini Chiniera seems to have handled the rigors of the year more successfully than the Ginestra Casa Matè. "We left more cover crop in the vineyards than normal to help soak up excess moisture, and we did two passes to reduce the crop,” said Gianluca Grasso. “Fermentations were on the shorter side for us, but we still did submerged cap maceration at the end.” Production is about 13,000 bottles each for the Gavarini Chiniera and Ginestra Casa Matè, down significantly from the 20,000 or so that is more typical. Grasso fans will not want to miss the 2015 Riserva Rüncot, which is also being released this year.
