Paola Grasso

Coming Up

Paola Grasso trained at Scuola Enologica di Alba, an education that did more than teach technique: it laid the groundwork for a career shaped by discipline, taste, and a refined sense of craft. From that starting point, her path feels rooted in precision, in the slow accumulation of knowledge that allows a winemaker to listen closely to what a place is already saying.

Where They Are Now

At the estate, her work centers on Barbaresco and its defining grape, a relationship that suggests both focus and restraint. Grasso describes the direction plainly, but the result carries its own quiet elegance: “We find ourselves with wines in line with the contemporary style, elegant and fine, without having had to overturn anything.” It is a telling phrase, one that hints at evolution without upheaval, at refinement rather than reinvention. In that balance lies the character of her present work—attentive to the demands of the moment, yet still anchored in continuity.

Signature

Paola's signature wines sketch the range of her sensibility across different expressions and textures: Dolcetto d'Alba DOCG "Lodoli" 2023, Barbaresco DOCG "Autinbej" 2022, Barbaresco DOCG "Asili" Riserva 2018, Barbera d'Alba "Paolina" 2021, and Barbaresco Riserva 'Asili' 2016. Read together, they trace a progression through appellation and vintage, suggesting a winemaker working with steadiness, nuance, and a clear sense of identity.

In Their Words “We find ourselves with wines in line with the contemporary style, elegant and fine, without having had to overturn anything.” “When I became an oenologist, the only thing on my mind was: the more alcoholic the wine was, the better it was.”
