Known for producing wines of structure, depth, and remarkable longevity, Ginestra has long been associated with a more powerful expression of Nebbiolo - often described as iron-fisted in youth, yet profoundly rewarding with time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlongside esteemed neighbors such as Domenico Clerico, Conterno Fantino, and Renzo Seghesio, Elio Grasso has carved out a distinct identity. Historically, the estate stood out for its ability to refine these inherently muscular wines - bringing a level of textural polish more often associated with producers from La Morra, such as Elio Altare and Chiara Boschis. However, they retain the polish and finesse\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003efrom their modernist era, so while the wines are more “traditional” in winemaking technique today, the style is more elegant than many of the powerhouse Barolo from Ginestra, which is why it’s so approachable. These are wines that continue to resonate with collectors and sommeliers alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Lineup:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2024 Elio Grasso \"Dei Grassi\" Dolcetto d'Alba\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2023 Elio Grasso \"Vigna Martina\" Barbera d'Alba\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2020 Elio Grasso \"Gavarini Chiniera\" Barolo\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2021 Elio Grasso \"Gavarini Chiniera\" Barolo\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2022 Elio Grasso \"Gavarini Chiniera\" Barolo\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2020 Elio Grasso \"Ginestra Casa Matè\" Barolo\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2021 Elio Grasso \"Ginestra Casa Matè\" Barolo\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2022 Elio Grasso \"Ginestra Casa Matè\" Barolo\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AOC Selections","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50779761541353,"sku":"757007","price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0533\/9729\/1161\/files\/7ed35b66097335.5b0afde091592.jpg?v=1775084650","url":"https:\/\/www.aocselections.com\/products\/elio-grasso-ginestra-in-focus-with-gianluca-grasso","provider":"AOC Selections","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
