Ca' del Baio's monopole bottling from the Vallegrande cru in Treiso, from vines planted in 1967 and held by the family since the 1970s. Grey calcareous-sandy marl soils with a western exposure give a wine of orange peel, violet, blackberry, and rhubarb character, dry and harmonious with a warm finish.
Vallegrande is Ca' del Baio's calling card — a monopole that shows the family's terroir better than any other bottling.
