2013 Barolo Riserva Rüncot, Elio Grasso, Piedmont
The 2013 Runcot is a remarkable wine. From the vineyard in front of the Cantina, depicted on the label, this is spectacularly pure and energetic, with notes of mulberry and fresh cherries, with spice and a savoury tang on the finish. Remarkably long, complex, and profound, this is a new level from Grasso.
