List of products by brand Elio Grasso

“We love to be recognized first as farmers and then as producers: it is our way of honoring and continuing the work of those who before us have faced the typical difficulties of those who work with nature and with wine. This is why our family wants to highlight, without presumption, those beliefs and ways of being of all the peasant families of the Langa, those characteristic features that we believe make the difference ": nothing better than these words can sum up the philosophy on which Elio Grasso family-run winery. We are in Piedmont, in Monforte d'Alba, and it is here that the 18 hectares owned by the company are conducted by breeding Nebbiolo, Barbera, Dolcetto and Chardonnay grapes, from which wines are obtained that can be defined as a concentrate of culture, territory and traditions.

We are in an area that has always been considered a high vocation, as evidenced by the map of the best vineyards created at the beginning of the last century by the great historian Lorenzo Fantini. The choice was to vinify and bottle the proprietary grapes separately, starting from 1978, so that the farm could find its own space in a market where good winemakers were already operating. In the cellar, the technological equipment is of the most modern, even if the management remains purely artisanal. Even in the vineyard, the policy of small steps began with progressive replanting of nebbiolo, barbera and dolcetto and, since 1986, also of a small plot of non-native grapes, chardonnay, "educating" it to be an expression of the terroir in which it was introduced. With an annual average of about 90 thousand bottles, each production process is meticulously controlled, starting from the supervision of the work between the rows up to the final bottling. In this way, wines are born that are able to combine character and balance, solidity and territorial adherence: labels that for years have made the Elio Grasso winery one of the most authoritative and prestigious realities of the Langa land.
