Tasting Notes: Color: Garnet red. Nose: Very intense, elegant, fruity. Palate: Dry, austere, warm, tannic, fresh, intense, with good persistence.
The Grasso family has been producing wine since 1927; Federico Grasso started bottling in 1980, and has "produced a bevy of sensational efforts over recent vintages" (Robert Parker). His sophisticated, modern Barolos are particularly notable for avoiding excessive wood aromas; to this end, Grasso prefers to use large barrels rather than barriques for maturation, and uses less than 30% new wood even on his single-vineyard bottlings.

Expert Review - Prior Vintage 2020
James Suckling 92 Points | A restrained Barolo with garnet color, offering notes of dried cherries, dried orange peel and hints of cocoa and bark. Medium-bodied, compact and dense with velvety tannins. Shows rich fruit at the end. Delicate and supple. Already drinkable, but better after 2027. (v.2020).
