The Langhe Nebbiolo Bric del Baio DOC from Cà del Baio is a shining example of the elegance and complexity that the Nebbiolo grape can express in the Langhe region, the beating heart of Piedmontese viticulture. The Cà del Baio winery, with a family history rooted in tradition and innovation, has paid particular attention to the care of the vineyards and the vinification of this wine, making it a true gem of their production.

Visually, this Langhe Nebbiolo presents a bright ruby red color with garnet hues that develop with aging. On the nose, intense notes of ripe red fruits like cherries and plums emerge, enriched by elegant floral nuances of rose and violets, typical of Nebbiolo. In the background, one can detect light spices and a hint of tobacco and leather, a result of its maturation in wood.

On the palate, the Bric del Baio reveals a robust yet balanced structure, with finely woven tannins that ensure a pleasant persistence. The acidity is well-balanced, providing freshness and liveliness to the palate, while the red fruit flavors blend with earthy and mineral notes that add complexity to the sip.

Ideally served at a temperature of 18-20°C, this Langhe Nebbiolo pairs splendidly with Piedmontese cuisine, such as truffle tajarin, braised meats, and roasts, as well as aged cheeses. Its versatility also makes it suitable as a companion for a meditation evening, perhaps accompanied by a good book or pleasant conversation.

A wine that not only tells the story of a territory but also represents the pure expression of a grape that has made Piedmont famous in the world of wine.

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.
