Silvio Grasso Peirass

Peirass from Monforte d'Alba.

Tasting notes

The Langhe Nebbiolo 'Peirass' shows a lighter garnet color, with an inviting nose of red cherry, violet, and a touch of spice. It is a more accessible expression of Nebbiolo, with soft tannins and a fresh, fruity palate leading to a clean finish.
