2021 Silvio Grasso - Barolo Turne (750ml)
The 2021 Silvio Grasso Barolo Turnè presents the robust structure expected from Piedmont’s Langhe appellation, built around Nebbiolo grapes harvested during a notably cool growing season. This vintage emphasizes concentration alongside elevated natural acidity, producing a wine that unfolds steadily as it interacts with oxygen. Early flavors reveal dried cranberry, crushed violets, and herbal undertones supported by polished tannins. Mid-palate development brings forward toasted cedar, damp forest soil, and saline minerality that define classic Grasso expression.
Serve this Barolo alongside roasted red meats, braised rabbit, or hearty grain-based pastas where the wine’s bright acidity can cut through richer sauces. It pairs reliably with aged dairy products such as Parmigiano Reggiano and smoked pecorino. Once uncorked, consume within three to four days and store the bottle upright at cool room temperature to maintain freshness throughout service.
