The wine comes from a 1.8 ha south-facing plot within the Gavarini vineyard, 300-320 meters above sea level, on relatively loose-packed, slightly clayey, calcareous soil. The township of Castiglione Falletto covers a spine with both soil types. ELIO GRASSO Riserva Runcot, Barolo DOCG 2010 Elio Grasso’s Riserva Rncot is a contemporary re-interpretation of Barolo. This more “masculine” style comes from Monforte d’Alba and Serralunga d’Alba. On the eastern side of the Barolo wine region, Helvetian soils of compressed sandstone and chalks are less fertile, producing wines with intense body, power and structured tannins.
Typically the Barolo wines coming from this side, from La Morra and Barolo, can be approachable relatively early on in their evolution and represent the “feminine” side of Barolo, often closer in style to Barbaresco with elegant perfume and fresh fruit. Elio Grasso Runcot Barolo DOCG 2010 ready 2019 - 2040 97 /100 Italy > Piedmont > Barolo 1,500Market value based on 12x75cl. Compact and fertile Tortonian sandy marls define the vineyards farthest west and at higher elevations. Riserva Rncot opens to a beautifully tempered and expressive bouquet that exhibits elements of wild berry, forest floor, candied fruit, licorice, cola and dried ginger. There are two predominant soil types here, which distinguish Barolo from the lesser surrounding areas. The wine undergoes a 40-day maceration time with four years in oak and one more year of bottle aging. In a well-made Barolo wine, one can expect to find complexity and good evolution with notes of, for example, strawberry, cherry, plum, leather, truffle, anise, fresh and dried herbs, tobacco and violets.

Its wines, with the signature “tar and roses” aromas, have a deceptively light garnet color but full presence on the palate and plenty of tannins and acidity. The landscape of Barolo, characterized by prominent and castle-topped hills, is full of history and romance centered on the Nebbiolo grape. The center of the production of the world’s most exclusive and age-worthy red wines made from Nebbiolo, the Barolo wine region includes five core townships: La Morra, Monforte d’Alba, Serralunga d’Alba, Castiglione Falletto and the Barolo village itself, as well as a few outlying villages.
