The olfactory range opens with ripe cherry, plum, orange peel, humus and violet suggestions. This is followed by liquorice root, cinchona and rhubarb, then intense notes of camphor, eucalyptus and laurel characterise the balsamic imprint in the background.

From this winery
  • Start up year: 1928
  • Oenologist: Piero Ballario
  • Bottles produced: 90.000
  • Hectares: 18
The vineyards owned by the Grasso family are the estate's greatest assets. The area where they are located has always been considered outstanding wine country, as is demonstrated by the inclusion of our holdings in the map of the finest vineyards drawn up by the great historian, Lorenzo Fantini, in the early 20th century.

Recognising the overriding need to respect and enhance the unique characteristics of the vineyards, we look on these sorì, as well-aspected hillsides are called around here, as magical places where we can rediscover our own roots.

In fact it was in the early 1980s that we decided to go back to our origins as grape growers, well aware that our work did not stop at the end of the row of vines. We had no illusions that we were inventing anything: we merely wanted to comply with the best in the traditions and work of our predecessors, without any preconceived ideas.
