Nebbiolo Langhe 2021

Nebbiolo Langhe, Barolo in Disguise

You think you know Nebbiolo.
The “baby Barolo.” The wine people drink while waiting for the real thing.

But not here. Not at Cascina del Monastero.

This Nebbiolo is different. It comes from the same vineyards in La Morra, Monforte d’Alba, and Roddino that produce the family’s Barolo. The soils, the slopes, the sunlight—all Barolo. The only difference is the name on the label.

Which means this so-called Langhe Nebbiolo ages almost as long as their Barolos—and longer than many of the industrial Barolos lined up in supermarket aisles.

Pour it young and you’ll taste fresh cherries, violets, and that unmistakable Langhe energy. Leave it alone, and years later it will reveal layers of forest floor, truffle, leather, and velvet tannins that would fool even seasoned collectors.

The Grasso family doesn’t make much. Only 20,000 bottles across the entire estate each year. This Nebbiolo is their insider’s secret—the bottle locals drink while the world chases famous labels at auctions.

For those who know, it’s not just a Nebbiolo.
It’s a Barolo in disguise.

And here’s the beauty: instead of spending good money on a cheap, commercial Barolo from a discount store, you can drink Cascina del Monastero’s Nebbiolo Langhe for the same price—and feel like you robbed a bank and got away with it.
