Standing ovation for the most genuinely Piedmontese wine of all: Dolcetto. Ca del Baio's Dolcetto is bare and raw, simple and fragrant. Only steel, from fermentation to refinement, to preserve and fully respect the characteristics of this vine. The grapes come from 60-year-old vines, mature vines that give this wine a perfect structure, characterized by intense notes of red fruit and berries. The farmer's wine has always been, suitable for every occasion and for every day. From the typical "merenda sinoira" in the countryside, to an aperitif with friends. A wine in full Braja style, which drives us crazy with pasta with tomato sauce (ours, of course).

Even before the wine, what captivated us about Ca del Baio were the people: Paola, Valentina and Federica, the three Grasso sisters who, following in the footsteps of their father Giuliano and mother Luciana, carry on the family cellar, producing wine from four generations between the municipalities of Barbaresco and Treiso. A sustainable, careful approach and meticulous viticulture. A family affair as usual in these parts, in which the protagonists captivate with their kindness, integrity and hospitality. The memory of the lunch after the visit to the cellar with that knife attack prepared in front of our eyes, observing the authenticity of every gesture, breathing in the rites of sacred hospitality was only a prelude to the beauty of the wines drunk: true, direct, indelible.
