VAT and Tax incl.
Excise and customs charges incl. (EU, CH, US only)
The Barbaresco Cru Vallegrande DOCG, produced by the renowned Cà del Baio winery, is a pinnacle of excellence from Piedmont, embodying the mastery and viticultural passion of the Grasso family. This wine is crafted exclusively from Nebbiolo grapes, cultivated in the prized vineyards of Vallegrande, one of the most celebrated cru of Barbaresco.
The winemaking process adheres to traditional Piedmontese methods, with an extended maceration of the skins followed by alcoholic fermentation. The wine then evolves through approximately 24 months of aging in large oak barrels, followed by further maturation in the bottle. This process imparts a robust and complex structure to the Barbaresco Cru Vallegrande, while maintaining the elegance typical of Piedmont’s great reds.
Visually, the wine displays an intense ruby red color with garnet reflections. On the nose, it reveals aromas of ripe red fruits, sweet spices, and subtle hints of rose and violet, complemented by a delicate backdrop of wood and vanilla. On the palate, the Barbaresco Cru Vallegrande is powerfully structured yet velvety, with fine tannins and a pleasant balance between acidity and alcohol. The finish is persistent and harmonious, with a return of spicy and floral notes.
This is a wine that can be enjoyed young but has an excellent aging potential, enhancing its complexity and nuance over the years. It pairs ideally with Piedmontese cuisine such as tajarin with truffle, braised dishes, and aged cheeses. A true gem for terroir wine enthusiasts who seek in their glass the history and tradition of one of Italy’s most noble wine-growing regions.
