The Barolo Annunziata Vigna Plicotti by Silvio Grasso, as many other wines by this winery, is often mentioned as a benchmark among the elegant Barolo of the La Morra area.
The land is geologically based on the so called fossil of Marne di Sant'Agata which give to the wines a fantastic heritage of minerals and aromas. The hand of the winemaker does the rest.
In this the Grasso winery is a master.
The skins stay in contact with the must for three weeks so that they give all their contribution to the taste and to the ageing perspectives. After this the wine matures 24 months in coarse-grained french barriques with medium roast.
Grasso's recipe is 40% in new barrels, while the remaining 60% matures in second and third passage, so that the wood tannins stay under control.
Today this 2019 vintage is already a prodigy, although you can easily imagine that it will be able to further refine in the bottle for many years.
The aromas are a carousel of sensations. From the blackberry to the vanilla, from the spicy to the orange skin.
It spreads in the mouth like velvet and the tannin is already perfectly balanced cleaning the mouth without scratching it.
The persistence is simply amazing.
PAIRING: fantastic with the local recipes of Piedmont, but its versatility makes it a good match with all meat courses including spicy dishes
