Composed of 100% Nebbiolo sourced from the family's sustainably managed, younger estate vines in the prestigious La Morra commune of Piedmont, this wine serves as a brilliant introduction to the grape variety without requiring decades of cellar aging. Cultivated in clay and limestone-heavy soils, the fruit undergoes a brief 5-to-6-day maceration period and spends six months in stainless steel followed by a short period in large oak casks, preserving the grape’s natural freshness. Unlike its tightly wound Barolo siblings, this bottling tames Nebbiolo's notoriously fierce, high-acid and highly tannic framework just enough to make it supple, accessible, and delightfully food-friendly in its youth. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eOn the nose, the wine delivers a quintessential Piedmontese bouquet, opening with aromas of tart sour cherry, wild berries, and red currant layered with classic notes of crushed violets, dried rose petals, and a faint hint of eucalyptus. As it breathes, complex undertones of warm spice, subtle tar, forest floor, and a whisper of tobacco leaf begin to emerge. The palate is medium-bodied and exceptionally lively, showcasing a crisp, almost Burgundian acidity that cuts beautifully across the tongue. It drives forward with flavors of pomegranate, dark stone fruits, oregano, and orange peel, resting on a base of fine, firm, yet polished tannins that carry into a sleek, mineral-fueled, and dry finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eThe high acidity and structured profile of this Nebbiolo make it an outstanding partner for rich, fatty, and savory dishes that naturally bind to its tannins. It pairs effortlessly with traditional regional dishes like a simple plate of tajarin pasta with meat ragù or a luxurious porcini mushroom risotto. For the main course, the wine’s natural acidity cuts cleanly through the fat of braised short ribs, grilled lamb chops, or cold roast beef. It also stands up beautifully to robust appetizers, making it an excellent foil for a rich charcuterie board featuring bresaola, artisanal salumi, and aged hard cheeses such as Parmigiano-Reggiano or pungent Taleggio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e375ml\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor's Wine Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43838349508829,"sku":"","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0918\/5318\/files\/silvio-grassi-2021-langhe-nebbiolo-375ml-wine-taylors-shop-704.jpg?v=1733026290","url":"https:\/\/taylorswineshop.com\/products\/silvio-grassi-2021-langhe-nebbiolo","provider":"Taylor's Wine Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
