The Grasso Elio 2016 Barolo DOCG Riserva Runcot is a majestic work of Piedmontese winemaking, a wine whose character is rooted in a tradition deeply embedded in the heart of the Langhe. With an alcohol content of 14.5%, this Barolo displays a deep garnet red color, with orange reflections that are a sign of its maturity and complexity.
On the nose, it unfolds with an explosive bouquet of aromas that evoke the elegance of dried flowers, sweet spices, and notes of underbrush, all accompanied by a delicate hint of vanilla and tobacco, harmoniously imparted by aging in oak barrels. On the palate, the sip reveals an imposing structure that is simultaneously incredibly opulent, supported by velvety tannins and a well-balanced acidity that adds freshness and persistence to the tasting experience.
This ideal reserve wine for special occasions pairs beautifully with red meat dishes, such as Barolo braised beef, and strong-flavored aged cheeses. In every glass, the Grasso Elio 2016 tells a story of passion and care, an invitation to immerse oneself in a tasting experience that celebrates the best of the Langhe, evoking a deep connection with the land and its winemaking traditions.
