The soil, of medium calcareous texture tending towards clayey, contributes to giving the wine energy, depth, and a well-defined taste structure. The harvest takes place manually in the second decade of October, with careful selection of the \u003cstrong\u003eNebbiolo\u003c\/strong\u003e grapes. The wine's style reflects the classic vocation of Barolo, combined with a more structured and enveloping profile, supported by aging in new French oak barriques.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, \u003cstrong\u003eBarolo 2015 DOCG Rüncot Riserva Elio Grasso\u003c\/strong\u003e presents the typical garnet color of Nebbiolo, enhanced by bright reflections.
