Gramolere is a cru in the municipality of Monforte d’Alba, situated between the renowned Gavarini and Bussia vineyards. Its structure and character are considered synonymous with the Barolo of Monforte d’Alba. Alongside these characteristics, the wine from this particular south/southwest-facing hillside — at 1,050 to 1,750 feet above sea level on 30-year-old vines — expresses delicate scents of aromatic herbs that blend with classic and complex notes of leather and liquorice.

Hand-harvested in October. Destemmed; fermented on indigenous yeasts in temperature-controlled, stainless steel tanks. Aged for three years in older Slavonian and French oak casks (20-40HL); two months in tank and then six months in bottle. Bottled unfined and unfiltered.

Aromas of dark cherries, red plums, herbs, spices and warm leather. Structured yet silky, with fine-grained tannins. Pairing suggestions are grilled steak, Osso Bucco, and truffled dishes.
