Alcohol: 14.5% Grape(s): 100% Nebbiolo Localization: Barbaresco, Piedmont, Italy Tasting Notes: Color bright garnet red, with slight orange tinges; nose intense, with fruity aromas of marasca cherries and hints of violets. Spicy notes of black pepper, licorice, and goudron; taste dry, warm and soft, showing a long, rich, smooth flavor. 96 points James Suckling Notes: The destemmed and pressed grapes ferment on the skins in heat-controlled steel tanks for 5 to 30 days. The wine then matures in wood for 24 months, partly in oak casks and partly in small French barrels, before aging in the bottle for six months. Food pairing: Goes well with braised and stewed red meats, game, and very mature cheeses. As time passes, it also becomes a great meditation wine. The Domain: We tell our story through some dates that we consider to be key milestones in our family's development and winery. 1870Giuseppe Grasso, the great-grandfather of current owner Giulio Grasso, moves with his four children from
