Elio Grasso –
Piedmontese craftsmanship since 1980
Elio Grasso is located in northwestern Italy, about an hour's drive from Turin – in the heart of Piedmont, where Nebbiolo has dominated the vines for generations. The Grasso family is deeply rooted in this region; in 1980, they consciously returned to active wine production and developed the winery into what it is today: a craft-oriented operation with 18 hectares of vineyards and an annual production of around 90,000 bottles.
Since 2007, the team has worked in a modern, 100-meter-long wine cellar specifically designed for the requirements of Piedmontese winemaking. The wines are aged in French and Slavonian oak barrels – a combination that gives the wines structure and depth without masking the varietal fruit. In the cellar, three grape varieties are the main focus: Nebbiolo for the great single-vineyard wines, Barbera for fullness and acidity, and Dolcetto for drinking pleasure and accessibility.
The wines of Elio Grasso are not showpieces, but the expression of a specific place and a clear attitude: quality through patience, origin through care in the vineyard. Anyone looking for Piedmontese wines with character and aging potential will find a reliable address here.
