Elio Grasso's 2021 Barolo Ginestra Casa Matè hails from Monforte d'Alba’s south-facing clay-limestone slopes, at altitudes reaching 300-350 meters. Majestic and age-worthy, its aromatic profile features classic Casa Matè dark fruits and balsamic notes. Precision defines the palate: dense fruit, vibrant acidity, and mineral tannins. A spicy, juicy finish lingers. This stunning Barolo, a regional pinnacle, reflects the 2021 vintage's exceptional balance. A perfect pairing for braised meats, truffle dishes, and aged cheeses.

97 Points, Antonio Galloni, VINOUS: “The 2021 Barolo Ginestra Casa Matè is fabulous. Bright and transparent, with captivating depth, the 2021 is a stunning beauty. Enveloping balsamic notes make a strong opening statement that remains a theme here. Blue/purplish fruit, lavender, spice and blood orange all come alive in the glass. What a wine!...” 01/25

95 Points, Michaela Morris, Decanter.com: "Just 300m away from Gavarini Chiniera, Casa Matè sits slightly lower, between 300 to 350m. Characterised by richer clay soil and full south exposure, it is always the first to bud and to be picked, usually 10 days earlier than Gavarini Chiniera. Intense aromas of liquorice, bay leaf and rosemary make for a pungent introduction. Laden with dark cherry and black raspberry, the palate is luscious on the entry, becoming more rigid as virile, commanding tannins take hold. Remarkably balanced in its girth, power and concentration..." 03/25

97 Points, Audrey Frick, Jeb Dunnuck.com: "The 2021 Barolo Ginestra Casa Mate displays a bit more ruby and deeper pigment in the glass and has notes of raspberry liqueur, sweet sage, pressed flowers, cedar, and licorice. It’s very pretty on the nose and carries more sapidity to the palate while also retaining lovely purity, with ripe tannins, slightly broader shoulders, and a long finish. Both of the Barolo have a tremendous amount to offer, but with distinctive personalities, and for my taste, this one has a slight edge. (I also wouldn’t be surprised if that were to flip with a different mood and tasting.) The perfumes of both the wines are exceptional in this fantastic vintage. Drink 2027-2057...." 05/01/25
