Introducing…
2005 CA’ del BAIO BARBARESCO
New England debut!

When Boston wine professionals need information about Italian wine, especially the Piedmont region, whom do they consult? VINTAGES’ own Eric Broege, of course. No wine merchant spends as much quality time in Piedmont as Eric, and no one has a more in-depth understanding of the region’s estates, winemakers and traditions. ONE of the many services VINTAGES provides is connecting deserving wineries in Italy’s Piedmont region with a suitable importer/distributor in our state. Sometimes an inquiry comes from a local importer who wants to add a new, quality Piedmont property to their portfolio. VINTAGES recommended a winery, the importer visited the estate and arranged to bring the wines from CA’ DEL BAIO into our state. These CA’ del BAIO selections represent tremendous value for cru-level Barbarescos. Our many travels to Piedmont have yielded yet another unheralded producer of quality wine that’s also an excellent value.

“Its great to see Ca’ del Baio and proprietor Giulio Grasso follow up their highly successful 2004s with this set of 2005 wines.” –Wine Advocate
