Saturday, February 1, 2020 - "2015 Barolo…The Bigger Picture" Tasting at La Festa del Barolo (The Pool and The Grill in the Seagram Building, NYC): [Gianluca Grasso said his first vintage was 1996. He is 45 years old. His father is almost 77 and is still out tending his vines and still teaching Gianluca new facts and ideas about the vines. He told a story where a consultant told them the grapes were ready to be harvested based technical measurements. His father said no and showed him how some grapes were not fully ripe and the seeds were still green. They harvested one week later and his father was right.]
Sweet nose of red fruit ground beef. Long and delicious. Appealing spice and red fruit. My favorite La Festa wine from the producer. 93-??
