Tiziano Grasso – Barolo Briccolina – 2019

The only Barolo produced by the Grasso family in the Briccolina vineyard. Situated on the southern side of the commune of Serralunga, this parcel is famous for its soils rich in blue marl/limestone and for its natural amphitheater-like position, giving wines of great power and structure, above all capable of aging. The Grasso family limits itself to producing about 4000 bottles of Barolo with the oldest plants of 50 years, leaving the remaining part of the vineyard for sale. The wine has undergone spontaneous fermentation in oak barrels and is aged in 500-liter barrels for three years. Spicy aromas, of goudron, plum, opulent mouthfeel, deep and slightly round tannins are the sensations you will feel and make you fall in love with this wine. Great winery, Great wine.

Description

We are in Serralunga, around the Briccolina vineyard, a natural amphitheater facing south, a position more than suitable for the aging of Nebbiolo for Barolo, and it is right here that is located the winery of Tiziano Grasso, owner of this magnificent land for 5 generations now. The interesting story of this small reality of Langhe is that until 2012 they had never produced wine, but they limited themselves to work the 6 hectares of vineyard with great maniacal care and then sell the grapes. In parallel with the sale, finally thanks to Tiziano with plants older than 50 years it was decided to give life to a few thousand bottles with their own label. Thus was born their unique “Barolo Briccolina”. In 2017 a few years after the release of the first bottles, Tiziano passed away due to an accident in the vineyard, leaving a huge void to all his lovers of “Barolo Briccolina”, now with great courage and skill his son Daniele continued to bring up this little gem. The result is one of the wines from the Serralunga area that impressed me the most. A true wine, rustic, with powerful tannins, to be waited for, with a very high quality manufacture.
