Tasting Notes
Casa Mate is slightly lower with heavier limestone-based clay soils at 300-350m. Harvested mid-October. Very long maceration time and aging in 25-hectoliter barrels for around 24 months.
The 2020 Barolo Ginestra Casa Matè is gorgeous. Aromatically captivating and nuanced, the 2020 impresses right out of the gate. All the classic Ginestra signatures are present. Today the tannins are pretty imposing in the positive sense, as they are present, but also impeccably balanced within the wine's frame. This is impressive stuff. The substantial, balsamic-infused Ginestra finish is captivating. 96 points - Antonio Galloni
The Grasso family is highly respected by other Barolo producers and has lived in the Langhe for centuries , but only started bottling their own wines in the late 70's , converting themselves from a Growers family to a wine producers . Great efforts were made in modernising and replanting Vineyards with the simple Goal to produce the best Barolo possible from their Land .A jewel of an estate , with Gavarini Chiniera and Ginestra Casa mate vineyard sites in their holdings in Monforte .These wines sit at the very top of the Pyramid and Elio and his son Gianluca, continue to release beautifully perfumed and structured Barolo, both in a traditional style and Runcot as the more modern wine . Great expressions of Monforte terroir; these examples of Barolo are as honest as you can find. - Importer Note
