Robert Parker ™s right hand man writes a little about them Elio Grasso ™s wines are made in a unique. crisply articulated style that highlights balance and harmony over sheer power The Barolos are fermented using the traditional submerged cap method and see a full month of maceration on the skins Despite all of their success.
