In 2014 Gianluca decided to blend his two single vineyard sites together, preferring the results of the blend to the individual wines. We didn't taste the original wines, but it's absolutely certain that the blend has worked brilliantly. Cool and suave, with notes of crushed herbs, fresh flowers and morello cherries, it's a wine that's all about elegance and finesse. A clear demonstration of Gianluca's Monforte terroir, it's a wine that you'll want to have in your cellar. He really is a Barolo superstar.
This wine is now sold out. Please get in touch with your advisor or one of our team on [email protected] or 01473 313 300 for more information or guidance on an alternative.
In 2014, Gianluca Grasso opted to bottle one Barolo that is a blend of juice from Gavarini and Chiniera. Grasso's 2014 Barolo is a beautiful wine that captures the personality of the vintage. Lithe, perfumed and aromatic, the 2014 exudes class from start to finish. The flavors are wonderfully bright and vibrant, with plenty of red fruit and expressive floral and overtones. The 2014 is a pretty, feminine wine that may very well surprise down the road.

The Gavarini fruit saw 25 days on the skins, while fermentation and maceration for the Ginestra lots was 30-45 days, all with submerged cap. When bottling time came, Grasso preferred the blended Barolo to what would have been vineyard designate Gavarini and Ginestra Barolos. The juice from Rüncot went into the the Langhe Nebbiolo, which is the custom when the flagship Riserva is not bottled.
