The Dolcetto d'Alba Lodoli DOC wine, produced by the renowned Cà del Baio winery, is an excellent example of how the Langhe territory can be expressed through the Dolcetto grape variety. This red wine is appreciated for its freshness and intense fruit expression.

The Dolcetto d'Alba Lodoli presents itself with a lively ruby red color, hinting at its organoleptic qualities. On the nose, it offers an aromatic bouquet rich with notes of cherry, raspberry, and a slight spiciness that adds complexity without overpowering the freshness of the fruit.

On the palate, the structure is medium tannic but very balanced, with a fresh quality that persists and invites another sip. The finish is clean and pleasantly long, with echoes of freshly picked fruit. The stainless steel vinification process preserves the typical varietal freshness of the Dolcetto, making this wine suitable for various culinary pairings.

Ideal for accompanying light appetizers, tomato-based first courses, and white meats, the Dolcetto d'Alba Lodoli from Cà del Baio stands out for its ability to combine simplicity and enjoyability, making each sip an authentic and immediate tasting experience.

This wine not only reflects the high quality of the vineyard and cellar work by the Grasso family, owners of Cà del Baio, but also serves as an excellent introduction to the classic wines of Piedmont for those who wish to explore this rich Italian winemaking region.

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.
