Ca' del Baio - Langhe Nebbiolo 2023

For four generations the Grasso family has been quietly making a name for themselves in the Barbaresco region. Stretching back to the late 1800’s when Giuseppe Grasso moved from Calosso in the Asti region to Treiso in Barbaresco with his wife & four children. Here he purchased the Cascina Vellegranda farmhouse and surrounding land, where the Ca’ del Baio winery still stands today. In 1921 Giuseppe’s eldest son, Luigi Grasso, plants the first vines around the property and three years later they would harvest the first crop for personal wine production and the rest to be sold on site. It is with the birth of Luigi’s only son, Ernesto, that the modern version of the Ca’ del Baio estate begins.  In 1955 Ernesto marries a young woman from the Asili district of Barbaresco, Fiorentina ‘Fiorina”, where her family owns land in the historic Asili & Pora Crus. This union solidifies the families ties to both Barbaresco & Treiso for farming vineyards for the production of wine. Two year
