Description and technical sheet
The Barolo Riserva DOCG Runcot by Elio Grasso is a masterpiece of winemaking, exemplifying Piedmontese excellence. This wine originates from the prestigious Runcot vineyard in Monforte d’Alba, featuring calcareous marl soils that enhance the Nebbiolo grape’s qualities. The 2013 vintage benefited from balanced weather, allowing optimal grape ripening. Traditional vinification methods include extended fermentation and aging in oak barrels for at least five years, followed by two additional years of bottle refinement. The result is a wine of extraordinary complexity, capable of evolving over decades. Perfect for significant occasions, it’s an ideal choice for those seeking a unique and refined tasting experience.
Barolo Riserva DOCG Runcot - Elio Grasso: Tasting Notes
The Barolo Riserva DOCG Runcot displays a deep, bright garnet color. The nose reveals complex notes of ripe red fruits, dried violets, sweet spices, tobacco, and a balsamic hint. On the palate, it is elegant and well-structured, with velvety tannins, balanced acidity, and a long, enveloping finish. Ideal with elaborate dishes like braised meats, roasts, or aged cheeses, it is also extraordinary on its own, allowing full appreciation of its depth and refinement.
