CÀ DEL BAIO is a typical family concern in which...all the members contribute - in their different roles - to the complex running of the business. Constant progress made since the beginning of the new millennium has led to the company competing on markets throughout the world, and carving out a position of considerable importance in Barbaresco within what has become an appellation of global prestige.
The Ca’ del Baio story started out on this very vineyard, on one of the best-known Crus in the Langa, and this elegant, refined wine encapsulates to perfection the precious fruit grown on our oldest vines.
Style: Ready to drink as soon as 3 years following the harvest, it gives of its best after 10-15 years - and beyond in great vintages. Cellaring recommended with the bottle lying down in the dark at a constant temperature.
Vinification: The destemmed and pressed grapes ferment on the skins in heat-controlled steel tanks for 5 to 30 days.
Ageing: The wine then matures in wood for 24 months, partly in oak casks and partly in small French barrels, before continuing its ageing in the bottle for 6 months.
Colour: Colour bright garnet red, with slight orange tinges.
Taste: Spicy notes of black pepper, liquorice and goudron; taste dry, warm and soft, showing a long, rich, smooth flavour.
Aroma: Nose intense, with fruity aromas of marasca cherries and hints of violets.
