Why shop with us?
Ca del Baio Barbaresco Vallegrande Riserva Viti Vecchie 2020 is a striking 100% Nebbiolo from the prestigious Treiso area of Barbaresco, made from old vines in the Vallegrande cru. A wine that reflects both tradition and excellence, it showcases the elegance, depth, and age-worthy structure that have made Barbaresco one of Piedmont’s great historic wines.
Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a garnet-red color with the classic brightness and refinement expected of Nebbiolo. The nose is intense and layered, with enveloping aromas of blood orange, violet, blackberry, rhubarb, and incense.
On the palate, it is dry, velvety, and harmonious, combining impressive concentration with a warm, tannic finish that remains true to the variety’s character. The aftertaste is long and persistent, suggesting excellent aging potential and the ability to develop even more nuance over time.
Production
The grapes come from old vines in the Vallegrande cru in Treiso, a hillside site in Piedmont known for producing Nebbiolo with finesse, tension, and aromatic complexity. While detailed vinification information is not provided, the Riserva designation and the use of old-vine fruit point to a careful, traditional approach aimed at preserving purity, structure, and the distinctive character of the vineyard.
Food & Serving
This Barbaresco Riserva pairs beautifully with rich, savory dishes such as braised beef, veal shank, game, porcini risotto, and aged cheeses. Serve at around 16–18°C to bring out its aromatic detail and balance, and consider decanting for about 1–2 hours if drinking young to help the wine open up fully.

Cà del Baio is a respected family-run producer in Piedmont with a strong reputation for expressive, terroir-driven Barbaresco. Deeply rooted in the Treiso area, the estate is known for crafting wines that highlight the finesse and structure of Nebbiolo, with a focus on authenticity, vineyard identity, and consistent quality.
