2022 Silvio Grasso - Barolo DOCG (750ml)
The Grasso family has farmed in La Morra since 1927, though Federico Grasso only began estate bottling in 1980, building a reputation for sophisticated, modern Barolo that avoids heavy wood influence, favoring large botti over barriques and keeping new oak under 30% even on the single-vineyard bottlings. This entry-level Barolo shows subtle cherry and pomegranate aromatics with dried herb notes, medium to full-bodied with a savory edge, and chalky, angular tannins that add real lift. Balanced, harmonious, and approachable, this is a classic, accessible entry point into one of Barolo's most consistently underrated producers.
