Product Notes

The Ca' del Baio Barbaresco DOCG Autinbej wine is a delightful, complex Italian red with a rich and pronounced character. Born in the heart of the Piedmont region, this delightful wine boasts a full-bodied nature, with hints of ripe red fruits, spice and vanilla. The beautiful balance of acidity and tannins create a lingering finish that leaves you desiring another sip. Raised in oak barrels, the Autinbej bestows upon its drinker an inviting and voluptuous complexity. Its deep ruby red colour adds to the intoxicating allure, making it an excellent companion for your hearty meat dishes or mature cheeses.

Tasting Notes

The colour is a deep garnet red with reflections of old pink. The nose is an intense, fruity aroma reminiscent of raspberries, jam, and violets that give an ethereal feeling accompanied by sweet spicy notes and hints of cocoa. In the mouth, Autinbej is warm, long, persistent and slightly tannic with an aftertaste of fruity notes.

About the Winery

Nestled amongst the bucolic hills of Piedmont, Italy, you'll find the family-owned Ca' del Baio winery. This charming establishment, situated in the heart of the celebrated Langhe wine-producing region, has a rich history and a deep reverence for the traditions of Italian viticulture.

Found in 1970, Ca' del Baio is the embodiment of the dreams and passion of Giulio Grasso and his wife Luciana. Together they’ve breathed life into a winery that emulates tradition whilst warmly embracing modernity. Over the years, Ca' del Baio has gone from strength to strength, and is now known for its range of exquisite wines - from delectable Dolcettos, to sumptuous Nebbiolos, and the house speciality, delightful Barbarescos.

An intriguing fact about the winery is that it takes its name from "baio", the Piemontese term for bay horse, a tribute to rural roots and the region’s equestrian heritage. Guided tours are available at the estate for those eager to delve deeper into the story behind the vineyard and its delightful wines, and with 4 generations of the Grasso family having tended the vineyards, you will not be left wanting for stories.

However, it's not just the history that sets Ca' del Baio apart: it’s the family's commitment to sustainability that truly shines. They champion traditional viticultural methods, which are respectful of nature; aiming to preserve the land for future generations.

To fully beacon in the Ca' del Baio experience, a tasting in the renovated 19th-century farmhouse turned tasting room is a must. Overlooking the verdant vineyards, this room offers an immersive experience, where tradition meet modernity and wine lovers can revel in the complexities of Piemontese wines.

The Ca' del Baio winery serves as a testament to the Italian spirit of unity, tradition and respect for nature. It offers not only premium produce but also a unique experience that honour the timeless tradition of winemaking.
