## About

Elio Grasso is a family farm in the Ginestra locality of Monforte d'Alba. Of its 42 hectares, 18 are planted to vines and the other 24 are woods and meadows. The family, Elio, Gianluca, Marina, Francesca, Martina and Anna Grasso, describes itself as farmers first and winemakers second. Since 1978 the grapes from each vineyard have been vinified and bottled separately, and yearly output stays under 90,000 bottles.

Nebbiolo, Barbera and Dolcetto were replanted step by step, and a small plot of Chardonnay followed in 1986. The range is seven wines: Barolo Riserva Rüncot, Barolo Gavarini Chiniera, Barolo Ginestra Casa Maté, Barbera d'Alba Vigna Martina, Langhe Nebbiolo, Dolcetto d'Alba dei Grassi and the Chardonnay called Educato. Monforte sits historically within the Barolo production zone.
