Casa Maté is the more masculine of Grassos two regular Barolos, showing darker fruit, more tar and a more robust tannin profile. The fruit comes from a south-facing 3 ha plot within the Ginestra vineyard, 300-350 meters above sea level, on relatively loose-packed, slightly clayey, calcareous soil. Driven by rigorous attention to detail in the vineyard and picking at optimum phenolic maturity, Grassos Vigna Casa Maté is a contemporary expression of traditional Barolo underscored by immaculate winemaking. The wine is fermented in stainless steel and typically spends 30 days on skins followed by 30 months maturation in 2500L Slavonian oak casks.

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.
