About the winemaker
Recognising the founder of Caʼ del Baio winery as 'Viticoltore dell'anno' - Winemaker of the Year - Italy's famed Gambero Rosso had this to say: “Giulio Grasso – founder of Caʼ del Baio winery – is an authentic grape-grower, a man who lives the rhythms of nature and countryside practically in symbiosis with his vineyards. Although his productions range from red-white wines to red of the territory, it his nevertheless his Barbaresco wines from the Pora, Asili and Vallegrande crus that most deeply represent him, and above all, his ties to his land. He is transmitting these values to his daughters Paola, Valentina and Federica, who work with him in the winery.” (March, 2016).
The modern, 25 hectare estate is producing some very fine Barbaresco and a range of other wines that leave the competition struggling to catch up. The entire range has a sense of verve, freshness, and vitality that can’t fail to impress the taster.
