Grasso Elio 2016 Barolo DOCG Riserva Runcot MAGNUM

The "Grasso Elio Barolo Riserva Runcot 2016" is an emblematic wine that tells the extraordinary winemaking tradition of the Langhe region in Piedmont, where Nebbiolo grapes reach their maximum expression. Hailing from the renowned winery Grasso Elio, this Barolo presents an intense garnet red color, tinged with ruby reflections that denote its complexity. On the nose, it offers a rich and refined bouquet, intertwining delicate notes of withered rose with more complex scents of dark cherry, licorice, and a hint of oriental spices, evoking the elegance of a blooming aromatic garden.

On the palate, this wine reveals itself to be powerful and structured, supported by silky tannins and vibrant freshness that provide a splendid balance. Its length is impressive, with a persistent finish that recalls notes of tobacco and vanilla, revealed through aging in oak barrels. It is a wine that requires time to express its full personality, so it is recommended to decant it before serving.

Perfect to pair with red meat dishes, such as Barolo braised beef or porcini mushroom filet, it also pairs beautifully with aged cheeses. It is a sensory experience that celebrates the beauty and complexity of the Italian wine landscape: a cry from a territory and a vintage that has produced a Barolo of remarkable character and longevity.
