Descrizione

The Vallegrande Riserva of Cà del Baio is a superior expression of Barbaresco DOCG, born in the suggestive hills of the Langhe, in Piedmont. This wine represents the perfect harmony between the nebbiolo grape, typical of the territory, and the skillful cellar work that enhances its elegance and structure. The long aging in wooden barrels, followed by an extended rest in the bottle, gives it complexity and depth, turning every sip into an intense sensory experience.

In the glass, it presents a bright garnet red color, a prelude to a wide and refined bouquet, where delicate floral notes of rose and violet emerge, enveloped by scents of ripe red fruits, sweet spices, and light balsamic nuances. The palate, on the other hand, surprises with its vigorous, well-integrated tannins, balanced by a fresh acidity that guarantees longevity and an elegant, persistent finish.

The Vallegrande Riserva is ideal paired with typical Piedmontese dishes such as Barolo braised beef, roasted game, or aged cheeses, enhancing every course with its finesse and decisive character.

A true gem for lovers of nebbiolo and great terroir wines, capable of authentically narrating the soul of the Langhe.

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.
