The Barbaresco Cru Asili DOCG by Cà del Baio is a red wine of extraordinary elegance and complexity, representing one of the finest expressions of the Nebbiolo grape variety. Cultivated in the renowned vineyards of Asili, one of the most prestigious microzones of the Barbaresco designation, this wine is a symbol of high-quality Piedmontese craftsmanship.
In the glass, the Barbaresco Cru Asili presents itself with a deep ruby red color, tending towards garnet with aging. The nose is a seductive invitation to an aromatic journey starting with notes of ripe red fruits, such as cherries and raspberries, then developing more complex nuances of violet, spices, leather, and tobacco, enriched by a subtle thread of smoke.
On the palate, the wine offers a solid yet elegant structure, with fine but robust tannins that promise excellent aging potential. The acidity is lively, expertly balanced by ripe fruit and a long, persistent finish that revisits the spicy and balsamic notes.
This prestigious Barbaresco has been aged for several months in oak barrels, which contributes to its lightly toasted notes and an aromatic complexity that develops beautifully over time. It is recommended to pair it with rich and structured dishes, such as braised red meats, game, and aged cheeses.
The Magnum format, contained in an elegant wooden case, is perfect for connoisseurs who wish to preserve this wine for special occasions, ensuring optimal aging. An enological masterpiece that celebrates the winemaking tradition of Piedmont, promising an unforgettable tasting experience.

Discover the story and wines of Ca' del Baio.

Piemonte
Country:
Italia
Founded:
1870
Grapes:
Nebbiolo, Chardonnay, Dolcetto, Barbera, Riesling, Moscato
Family-run winery
Based in Treiso, with vineyards in the Barbaresco crus.
Adherence to the principles of the Green Experience project for sustainable viticulture
Use of native yeasts and limited use of sulfites in the cellar.
Winery history
The Grasso family has been connected to these hills for generations: Giuseppe Grasso's arrival in Treiso is documented in 1870, and in the following decades the family progressively selected and vinified individual parcels. In the 1980s and 2000s the winery refined the separation of grapes by cru, and in 2008 introduced experiments with Riesling. The revival and modern visibility of the winery are linked to the work of Giulio Grasso, and today management also involves the family's daughters.
Production philosophy
It favors a sustainable approach to viticulture, eliminating chemical weed control, using cover crops, and prioritizing biodiversity and soil conservation. In the cellar, fermentations with indigenous yeasts are encouraged and the use of sulfites is limited to preserve the character of the vintages and their ageing potential.
Terroir and vineyards
The estate and most of its vineyards are located in Treiso, near Barbaresco and not far from Neive. The estate's vineyards fall within historic crus such as Vallegrande, Asili, Pora, Marcarini, Ferrere and Trestelle; the soils are typically calcareous marls that characterize the Barbaresco area.
Awards and recognitions
Giulio Grasso was named "Winemaker of the Year" by the Gambero Rosso guide.
