Barbaresco Cru Vallegrande DOCG - CASSA IN LEGNO - Magnum - Cà del Baio 2017

The Barbaresco Cru Vallegrande DOCG, in the prestigious MAGNUM WOODEN CASE presentation by Cà del Baio, is a refined expression of one of the most celebrated Piedmontese grape varieties: Nebbiolo. The Cà del Baio estate, passionately and dedicatedly managed by the Grasso family, cultivates its vines in one of the most renowned crus of the Barbaresco area, where the unique microclimate and the rich calcareous marl soil endow the wine with a complex structure and an unparalleled depth of aromas.

The Barbaresco Cru Vallegrande features an intense ruby red color that tends to develop garnet hues over the years. On the nose, the wine offers an aristocratic and complex bouquet, where notes of ripe red fruits, such as cherry and plum, intertwine with hints of spices, chocolate, and an elegant balsamic touch. With aging, more evolved notes of tobacco and leather emerge.

On the palate, it is robust and enveloping, characterized by fine yet persistent tannins that promise excellent aging potential. The balance between acidity and alcohol is masterful, with a long and persistent finish that leaves a velvety sensation on the palate.

Served at a temperature of 18°C, the Barbaresco Cru Vallegrande DOCG pairs splendidly with rich dishes like meat stews, game, and aged cheeses. Additionally, it is a wine that can greatly benefit from a few hours of decanting before being served, allowing it to express its full aromatic spectrum.

Presented in a wooden case and in magnum format, this wine not only is ideal for high-quality tasting but also represents an elegant gift choice for wine lovers and connoisseurs.
