Barolo Riserva

2016 Barolo Riserva Runcot Nebbiolo

The Elio Grasso Barolo Riserva 2016 is a remarkable expression of the Nebbiolo grape, embodying the elegance and complexity that the Barolo region is famed for. This full-bodied red wine showcases a deep garnet color, inviting you into its rich bouquet of dark cherry, plum, and hints of rose petal. On the palate, the wine reveals a high acidity that provides a vibrant backbone, balancing beautifully with notable tannins that promise ample aging potential. The fruit intensity is prominent, featuring layers of black fruit intertwined with earthy undertones and subtle spice nuances, offering a delightful depth. This wine is wonderfully dry, making it an ideal companion for rich dishes or to enjoy on its own as you savor its progression in the glass.
