Barolo Ginestra Casa Maté is a Piedmontese wine produced by the historic Langa winery Elio Grasso. It is a Barolo that ages 30 months in oak barrels and 8-10 months in the bottle, with a broad and intense bouquet of fruit, dried flowers, spices and underbrush and a robust and structured palate with delicate tannins.

96 Points - Jeb Dunnuck

The 2020 Barolo Ginestra Casa Mate is sourced from 65-year-old vines planted in clay-rich soils and displays a deeper transparent ruby color. On the nose, a spicier profile emerges, with notes of licorice, balsamic, cherry liqueur, smoky earth, and pipe tobacco. It shows off a broader and rounder feel on the palate and is fleshy with plush, sweet tannins and a clean, balanced finish. This wine is more approachable in this vintage, and it’s already drinking well.
