A New Voice Rising in Serralunga d’Alba

Making a lot of noise in Serralunga d’Alba. The Grasso family for many years and many generations were only known as grape growers of the complex but sought after Nebbiolo grapes that likes to grow in the foggy rolling hills of Langhe. All of the family’s vineyard holdings are in one plot in the town of Serralunga d’Alba called Briccolina. It was in 2012 that the Grasso family, Tiziano along with his son Daniele and wife Simona decided for the first time to produce some wine from the vineyard that they knew all so very well. Their first year was a success, producing a modest 3,000 bottles, it was enough to get everyone in town and around the world buzzing about their first vintage.

Carrying On After Loss

It was in 2014 sadly and suddenly that Tiziano passed away, just shortly after bottling their first vintage. It was a shock deep in the family as well as to all their friends, family, and townsfolk. Today Daniele and his mother Simona have taken over the reins of the family business, because of such high demands, they are slowly adding on to their small family winery in hopes to be able to produce another wine to add to their lineup.
