Barolo Runcot, Riserva, Grasso (Elio)

Note:

Grasso`s 2010 Barolo Riserva Rüncot is fabulous. The flavours are bright, sculpted and finely nuanced throughout, with plenty of sweet red cherry, cranberry, mint and chalk overtones. Aging in French oak (all untoasted) gives the wine its signature feel and texture. I have seen the Rüncot develop beautifully with time in bottle. I imagine that will be the case here was well. Gianluca Grasso has really honed in a super appealing style that straddles classic and more modern styles effortlessly.
