2022 Grasso, Elio - Barbera d'Alba Vigna Martina (750ml)

The 2022 Elio Grasso Barbera d’Alba Vigna Martina captures the distinct profile of Piedmont’s signature indigenous red variety, cultivated entirely within the named Vigna Martina parcel. Sourced exclusively from this designated site, the vines ripen under the cooling thermal shifts characteristic of the Barbera d’Alba appellation, producing a wine that emphasizes concentrated red fruit while preserving the grape’s naturally high acidity.

Tasting notes revolve around fresh sour cherry, wild strawberry, and dried fennel, woven with subtle layers of leather, damp earth, and a whisper of toasted spice. The medium-weight structure and refined tannin network deliver a crisp, direct finish that unfolds steadily as the wine interacts with oxygen.

Food pairings leverage the wine’s vibrant acid backbone and approachable grip. The bottle complements roasted poultry, braised lamb shanks, wild mushroom risotto, and slow-cooked tomato ragù with equal precision. It also performs reliably alongside hard aged cheeses, cured charcuterie selections, and simple hand-stretched pizzas or flatbreads.

Shipped in a standard 750ml glass format engineered to safeguard the capsule and seal throughout transit. Maintain storage in a stable, temperature-controlled environment away from direct sunlight to preserve aromatic purity and structural balance until service.
