Barolo Riserva DOCG Runcot 2016 Elio Grasso

Thanks to an unconditional love for the land of the Langhe, Elio Grasso has been able to establish himself as one of the most authoritative and authentic interpreters of the territory of Monforte d'Alba. Its wines have established themselves for a classic style and an uncompromising search for quality. The Runcot Reserve is produced with grapes from vineyards over 30 years old, grown at an altitude of 300 meters with a sunny southern exposure.

The calcareous marls give Nebbiolo a great finesse. After fermentation in steel vats at a controlled temperature, the wine ages for several years in French oak barrels and is refined in the bottle for a couple of years.

It is a complex Barolo that admirably combines elegance and power. It has a garnet color and aromas of red fruit, spices, hints of aromatic herbs and balsamic puffs. Intense and rich, it has an important tannic texture, well integrated with a ripe and expressive fruit.

To be paired with stewed game, stews and braised meats.
