Delivery time 2-3 working days

The Ca' del Baio Barbaresco Vallegrande 2018 DOCG is an impressive and authentic Barbaresco that impresses with its balance and warmth.

The Grassos own various plots on this site, totaling 3 hectares. Due to the very good location, the Nebbiolo vines produce grapes of optimal ripeness.

The grapes are hand-picked in October and carefully selected for vinification. The fermentation then takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks and usually lasts up to 15 days. This is followed by a 30-month expansion in large Slovenian oak barrels. Finally, the wine is stored in the bottle for a further 6 months before it is sold.

The Barabresco Vallgrande has a garnet red colour, intensely fruity, spicy and floral aromas and a fine tannin structure. The palate is soft, velvety and very harmonious, the finish is long and slightly spicy. The wine is ready to drink immediately and for the next 15+ years. It goes very well with veal, pork, red meat and mature cheeses.

The winery operates integrated viticulture.
