The Story
One of the fruits of the winemaking activity of the Ca' del Baio company, managed by Mr. Giulio's family, has been characterized by the choice to use a farming dedicated to organic cultivation and non-invasive winemaking. The vineyards were planted in 1957 and completed in 1999. The description of the wine, the company's work, and the characteristics of its production cannot ignore the history of the area. The origin of the name Barbaresco, in fact, is rooted in local history. There are various hypotheses regarding the origin of the name: it could derive from the Gauls' attraction to the Barbaritium wine, or it could be linked to the Romans, due to the name they gave to the barbaric forest present in the area. The strong connection with the territory and the desire to both protect and enhance it with the fruits of nature and the passion that man has for it has been rewarded with the DOCG Barbaresco designation (Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garanzia). The wine is produced in Barbaresco, which is located in the municipality of the same name. For the preparation of Barbaresco Asili one hundred percent of the vines are Nebbiolo. The vineyard faces south-west. The alcoholic fermentation takes place by leaving the grapes to ferment on the skins for approximately two months in temperature-controlled steel tanks. The vinification is done on the skins, and before bottling, the wine is aged for thirty months. The wine is placed for part of this time in large oak barrels, and for part of the time in French tonneaux. It is then aged in the bottle for six months.
