In 1926, Alessio Grasso, a winemaker from Treiso, bought the property and it has remained in his family ever since, with his great grandson Loris now taking the helm, ably supported by his sister Giada and his parents Giuseppe and Velda. The philosophy here is simple, to make elegant, ageworthy wines, finely structured and with the typical perfume of La Morra. Loris’ energy and enthusiasm are infectious and he is taking the wines from strength to strength, releasing them only when they have time for their tannins to soften and for their charm to show through and returning to classic, transparent, floral expressions of Nebbiolo.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e The 6 ha of vineyards behind the property are complemented by 3 ha in the cru of Perno in Monforte d’Alba and 3 ha in Roddino. As well as the fine Nebbiolo, a little Viognier is also planted from which a small amount of excellent Langhe Bianco is made.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCascina del Monastero Grasso Giuseppe Barolo Classico - Hay Wines\u003c\/h3\u003e","brand":"HAY WINES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57355163566455,"sku":"10692","price":43.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/6009\/9006\/files\/coming-soon.jpg?v=1735277757","url":"https:\/\/haywines.co.uk\/products\/cascina-del-monastero-barolo-2016","provider":"HAY WINES","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
