WINE DESCRIPTION
Silvio Grasso Barolo is a distinguished wine from Piedmont's esteemed Barolo region, crafted exclusively from the Nebbiolo grape. Known for its complexity and age-worthiness, this wine is produced using traditional winemaking techniques that highlight the unique characteristics of its exceptional vineyards. The grapes are carefully selected and undergo meticulous fermentation and aging processes to enhance their natural qualities. Silvio Grasso Barolo exhibits a deep ruby red color with garnet reflections, signaling its maturity. The nose is an enticing bouquet of cherry, raspberry, rose petals, violets, and spices like cinnamon and licorice. On the palate, it reveals a full-bodied, robust character with a harmonious balance of firm tannins, high acidity, and rich fruit flavors, complemented by earthy undertones of truffle and leather. As it ages, the wine develops layers of dried fruits, tobacco, and balsamic. With a long, persistent finish, Silvio Grasso Barolo is best enjoyed after proper decanting and pairs exceptionally well with braised meats, game, and aged cheeses, embodying the essence of the Barolo appellation.
