Barolo DOCG - Red wine

Barolo DOCG is a prestigious red wine produced in the Piedmont region of Italy. It is often referred to as the "King of Wines" due to its complex flavors and long aging potential. The wine is made from the Nebbiolo grape, which is known for producing highly tannic and full-bodied wines.

One of the most renowned producers of Barolo DOCG is the Azienda Agricola Elio Grasso. This family-owned winery has been producing exceptional wines in the Piedmont region since 1928. Located in the heart of the Barolo appellation, the winery is surrounded by rolling hills and picturesque vineyards.

The winery is currently run by the fourth generation of the Grasso family, Elio and his son Gianluca. They have a deep respect for tradition and follow the principles of sustainable agriculture in their vineyards. This allows them to produce wines that truly reflect the terroir of the region.

This extended aging process gives the wine a complex and elegant flavor profile. It has intense aromas of red fruits, spices, and a hint of licorice. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied with firm tannins and a long, lingering finish.

The winery produces three different variations of Barolo DOCG: the "Ginestra Casa Matè," "Gavarini Vigna Chiniera," and "Rüncot." Each wine is made from grapes grown in different vineyards, showcasing the diversity of the terroir. However, all three wines maintain the signature characteristics of Barolo DOCG, making them highly sought after by wine enthusiasts.
