Silvio Grasso · Barolo DOCG · Piedmont 2022 · 375ml Half Bottle
The Grasso family has made wine in Piedmont since 1927. Federico Grasso began bottling the estate's wines in 1980, building Silvio Grasso's reputation in Barolo; today his son Alessio, daughter-in-law Marilena, and grandsons Paolo and Silvio run the family estate. Its 11 hectares of vineyards sit in the heart of La Morra.
The estate's modern approach centers on preserving Nebbiolo's purity and elegance. Silvio Grasso favors large barrels over barriques and uses less than 30% new oak even for single-vineyard wines, aiming for finesse over overt wood character. This 375ml half bottle is a measured pour for a smaller dinner or a thoughtful introduction to Barolo.
The 2022 vintage shows subtle cherry, pomegranate, and dried-herb notes, with a savory edge and chalky, integrated tannins. James Suckling describes it as balanced, harmonious, and accessible.
James Suckling · 91 Points · 2022
James Suckling: “Subtle cherries with pomegranate and dried herbs. Medium- to full-bodied with a savory touch, complemented by chalky, angular, integrated tannins that add lift. Balanced, harmonious and accessible. Drink or hold.”
Food Pairings
Braised beef, osso buco, roasted lamb, truffle risotto, aged Parmigiano-Reggiano, and other Piedmontese classics.
