Ca' Del Baio (Giulio Grasso)

Ca’ Del Baio in Treiso is a 62-acre estate owned by the Grasso family. The Grassos, now led by patriarch Giulio Grasso, have owned vineyards near Barbaresco since the 19th century. But like many Italian grape growers, the family did not bottle their own wine until the mid-20th century. Today Giulio runs the estate with his wife and three daughters. The estate grows Nebbiolo, with small amounts of Barbera, Dolcetto, Chardonnay, Moscato and Riesling and makes red and white wines. Ca’ Del Baio is especially admired for its Barbaresco. Gambero Rosso has often awarded the estate’s Barbarescos the highest rating of 3 glasses. “In terms of quality and consistency, few estates can boast an array of Barbarescos to rival that of Ca’ Del Baio,” according to Gambero Rosso, whose reviewer added “their crus….wed a modern form with classic substance.” Robert M. Parker Jr. calls “The Ca’ Del Baio line-up...extremely impressive and delightful. These are some of the best wines from Barbaresco.” About 100,000 bottles are produced annually.
