TENUTE CISA ASINARI DEI MARCHESI DI GRESY Martinenga , Barbaresco DOCG

CA DEL BAIO Barbaresco Cru Vallegrande 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 from Ca del Baio is garnet red with intense aromas of red fruits and flowers on the nose. The wine is dry, smooth and well-rounded on the palate with nicely balanced tannins and a long finish. Perfect with a fine pasta.

This is Ciabot Berton's signature wine and a blend of 3 great Cru vineyards, creating a complex alluring wine with aromas of leather, tar and roses. The palate is powerful with rich dark fruit. Typical of the 2007 vintage, it is a Barolo that is stunning now due to its elegance, but will continue to cellar very well.

ELIO ALTARE, Barolo DOCG The Elio Altare Barolo is a blend of Nebbiolo grapes from the La Morra, Castiglione Falletto, Serralunga dAlba and Barolo sub-regions. Only 800-850 dozen bottles are produced each year from vineyards planted on south and south-east facing slopes in the late 1900s. The vineyards, on various soil types, are farmed organically, but along traditional lines. The grapes are crushed and then macerated on skins for 4-5 days in temperature-controlled rotary fermenters before fermentation using indigenous yeasts. The wine is matured for 24 months in French oak barriques before bottling unfined and unfiltered. The Elio Altare Barolo shows an intense ruby-red colour with hints of garnet. On the nose fresh scents of small red fruits, raspberry, redcurrant and wild roses evolve into licorice and spice notes. The palate is typically warm, elegant and persistent, with soft tannins and a long finish.
