Elio Grasso's fantastic Dolcetto d'Alba is surely one of the best value red wines in the entire Langhe. Perfectly pitched and beautifully infused with youthful ripe cherry and plum. Plump, bold and impressive, there is a sublime freshness here, lifted gracefully by a delicious vein of mineral acidity. It is ideal for drinking over the next two to three years.
The Elio Grasso Estate, located in the municipality of Monforte d'Alba, has 42 hectares of land of which 24 hectares are forests and meadows that surround the 18 hectares of vineyards, located within the World Heritage site.
