Heat and sunshine pulse through the 2015 Elio Grasso Barolo Runcot Riserva, layering rich black cherry and plum with strawberry, dried orange peel, licorice, smoke and underbrush. The palate is powerful yet finely tailored, with dense, polished tannins and a long, focused finish that carries dark fruit, spice and a savory, tarry echo. A lavish, structured Runcot that combines generosity with real aging potential in this warm, ripe vintage.

Barolo Rüncot Riserva is Elio Grasso’s single‑parcel, 100% Nebbiolo Riserva from the steep Rüncot plot in the Ginestra/Gavarini area of Monforte d’Alba; south‑facing, limestone‑and‑clay soils give the wine savory minerality and firm structure. Made only in top vintages in very limited quantities, it sees extended maceration and long aging (multiple years in French barrique plus bottle) to produce opulent, spicy, balsamic Barolos with powerful, finely grained tannins and long‑term aging potential.
