Our Story
The date '78 marks the history of the Grasso's family. 1878 was born the grandfather Pietro and after exactly one hundred years his grandson Pier Paolo. The conduction of the activity is therefore domestic and based on skills handed down first by the grandfather Pietro, then by the father Giuseppe. On the footsteps of his forefathers is now the son Pier Paolo who decided to continue and to boost an activity which was until now only aimed to the selling of the grapes to some prestigious wine cellars in the area.
During the last years the family thought therefore more seriously to make a dream come true and thanks to their spirit of self-sacrifice the Grassos built their own wine cellar.
Although in the present circumstances the Company can already produce 30.000 bottles of wine in all different wine categories, everything is now ready to reach in a short time the production of 80.000 units per year and this will be possible by making wine out of the whole today's possible production, thanks also to the vines planted out in 1997 on the new owned vineyards.
The Company is situated about seven kilometres from Alba, the Langhe's capital, and more precisely in Treiso, a village with a great wine vocation. The wines produced here come from renowned vineyards which have always been property of the Grasso's family. The grapes grow and ripen in the prestigious suri of this region situated in the immediate vicinity of the Grassos' wine cellar, from where you can even enjoy the beautiful landscape of the hillsides crowned by the Alpes - where the Monviso stands out majestically - all way down to Alba.
Everybody who is longing for the savours and scents of the good old days cannot therefore but come to visit us: the Grasso's family is any time glad and disposed to bring such emotions to life again through guided visits and also by hosting you in a typical "tasting room" where rich wines' sampling will express by themselves their capacity of producing a traditional Barbaresco accompanied by other valuable wines like Dolcetto and Barbera.
