Descrizione

The Barbaresco DOCG Asili Riserva of Cà del Baio is born in the heart of the Langhe, a land celebrated for its soils rich in limestone and clay, which give the wines a timeless elegance. This cru of Asili, a historic area with optimal exposure, fully expresses the essence of nebbiolo, the principal grape variety of the Barbaresco denomination. The vinification follows traditional methods with a slow maceration, followed by a prolonged aging in oak barrels, which imparts structure and complexity.

In the glass, it presents an intense ruby color, with orange hues that anticipate its evolution. The aroma is rich and refined, with scents of withered rose, ripe cherry, sweet spices, and a slight hint of leather. On the palate, it is enveloping, tannic but well balanced by a fresh acidity that promises great longevity. The finish is long and persistent, a testament to a dedicated territory and a skillful hand.

Perfect with roasted red meats, braised dishes, and aged cheeses, this Barbaresco Riserva in magnum format is an investment in the pleasure and memory of the noblest Piedmontese wine. An ideal choice for special occasions or passionate connoisseurs.

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.
