PRODUTTORI DEL BARBARESCO Riserva Ovello, Barbaresco

CA DEL BAIO Barbaresco Cru Asili For four generations, the Grasso family has quietly made a name for themselves in the Barbaresco region, stretching back to the late 1800s when Giuseppe Grasso moved from Calosso in the Asti region to Treiso. The Barbaresco Cru Asili displays an intense aroma, with fruity perfumes of morello cherry and floral violet. The palate imparts spicy notes of tar, black pepper, and licorice and reveals a velvety, rich texture. Iron, herbs and tobacco add depth to the lingering finish.

GAJA Sito Moresco, Langhe Fruit is sourced predominantly from Pajorè in Treiso and in Serralunga, with eastern and western exposure and rich soils laden with limestone. Fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks and oak casks, the Sito Moresco combines the complexity of Nebbiolo with the roundness of Barbera and the body of Merlot. Elegant, fruity and balanced, the wine has a refined bouquet of small red fruits with smooth tannins and a lingering finish.

In 2011 we started to think and act organic in the vineyards (officially certified since 2016). In 2015 our evolution continued with the introduction of a Biodynamic approach to the entire property. Key changes to improve the ecosystem include, adding trees and plants in the vineyards, introducing a green garden, and building birdhouses. While we have always sought balance in the vineyards, we now look for it in every part of our environment. For us, that means no chemical weeding, no systemic anti-parasite treatments, and no chemical fertilization. In addition, we plant barley, oats, and clover between the vines to revitalize the soil. To keep soft the soil not to stress the roots of the vines. We use corroborates to reduce chemical treatments and we even make our own compost. To promote as much biodiversity as possible we practice farming diversification by incorporating other crops. Finally, we always bottle with the energy of the waning moon.

First produced in 1911. The fruit for Massolino's classic Nebbiolo cuvée is selected from seven sites, representing roughly seven hectares of prime-sited Serralunga vineyards. The oldest vines that feed this bottling are 55 years old (the youngest are 10), and it spends 24 months in large Slovenian oak (only).
