Company description of ‘Cascina Tiole’, owner Massimo Grasso

     The winery is located in the countryside village called ‘Perno’, part of the Monforte d’Alba municipality, located geographically at the center of the Barolo townships. It extends across 8 hectares of which 4 have been turned in to vineyards.
     The dominating grape sort is nebbiolo – a grape produced in Alba’s 11 south west facing townships. It becomes Barolo after three years of aging in oak barrels.
     The winery has been in the family’s possession since 1933, handed down from father to son. It has grown in size in the past 20 years due to the esteem Barolo wine has received all over the world.
     I took over the management of the winery in 2004 and I have invested significantly both in vineyard cultivation and in the cellar with intent to create a product which fulfills the highest standards of quality and authenticity. For me, the Barolo is a passion !

So much labor and passion have gone in to each bottle of Barolo !
