From this winery
  • Start up year: 1928
  • Oenologist: Piero Ballario
  • Bottles produced: 90.000
  • Hectares: 18
The Elio Grasso Estate, located in the municipality of Monforte d’Alba, has 42 hectares of land of which 24 are forests and meadows that surround the 18 hectares of vineyards, within the World Heritage site.
We believe that to be acknowledged first as grape farmers, and then as wine producers, is the best way to honour, and continue the labours of, those who have faced before us the challenges that working with nature and her products, like wine, entails. This, and a desire to be true to ourselves, prompts us propose, without presumption, the convictions and conduct shared by all Langhe farming families, characteristics worth preserving and which we believe make the difference.

Welcome to our Estate. (Elio, Gianluca, Marina, Francesca, Martina ed Anna Grasso) Read more
