Descrizione

Vallegrande di Cà del Baio stands out as a Barbaresco DOCG that embodies the elegance and authenticity of Piedmont, a faithful expression of Nebbiolo grown in the Langhe lands. This Barbaresco is born from expertly tended vineyards that draw strength from the hilly terrain, rich in limestone and sand, allowing the grapes to mature slowly developing complexity and finesse.

The prolonged aging in wooden barrels, typical of tradition, gives Vallegrande a enveloping and persistent structure, while on the nose refined aromas of withered rose, cherry in spirit, damp earth, and delicate hints of sweet spices emerge. On the palate it is elegant, with silky tannins and an excellent balance between freshness and body, caressing the taste with mineral notes recalling the limestone soil.

Perfect to accompany dishes based on red meat, braised meats, or aged cheeses, Barbaresco Vallegrande is a versatile and refined choice for those seeking a long-lived wine in the Italian wine scene. The Magnum version amplifies the experience offering a slower and more complex evolution over time.

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.
