Power and refinement define the 2019 Elio Grasso Barolo Ginestra Casa Maté, with deep black cherry and plum layered over violets, dark spice, iron-tinged earth and a subtle balsamic edge. The palate is full and tightly framed by ripe, authoritative tannins, yet the wine stays vibrant and long, promising remarkable complexity as its structure slowly relaxes over time. A classic, more brooding expression of Ginestra in a highly successful vintage, built for patient cellaring.

Barolo Ginestra Casa Maté by Elio Grasso is a powerful yet finely etched single‑cru Barolo from the south‑facing Casa Maté parcel of Ginestra in Monforte d’Alba, planted to old Nebbiolo vines on limestone‑clay soils at 300–350 meters. Traditionally vinified and aged long in large Slavonian oak, it’s known for its combination of dark, ripe fruit, menthol and licorice tones, firm but polished tannins, and an ability to age into a deeply complex, truffle‑tinged wine that expresses the more sumptuous, muscular side of Monforte’s terroir.
