Elio Grasso Barolo Riserva Runcot 2015 is a Nebbiolo from the Monforte d’Alba district of the Langhe in Piedmont. This Riserva is produced only in top years from a single vineyard with calcareous-sandy soils, and it undergoes extended ageing in 100% new French oak barriques. The 2015 vintage delivered wines with ripe, supple tannins and great aromatic volume. The nose is a profound blend of dark cherries, espresso, vanilla and tar, with a subtle floral lift. On the palate, the wine is powerful and broad-shouldered, displaying the classic Monforte grip but with a polished, modern texture. The oak is expertly integrated, providing a spicy framework for the concentrated fruit.
