The passion for vineyards

The history of this winery begins from an old barn on the hills of the town of Castellinaldo d'Alba, in the Roero.
A barn among the vineyards and orchards that slope gently towards a valley where wheat was once grown.
The company takes its name from the hill: "La Granera".
Here began the story of Giuseppe Grasso, a winemaker by vocation, who today continues a long family tradition of care for the vineyard, respect for the environment and rigorous technique in the cellar.

With passion and experience he cultivates the typical local vines - Arneis, Nebbiolo, Barbera and Bonarda - on approximately 11 hectares of vineyards in the municipality of Castellinaldo d'Alba, partly owned and partly rented. On the Granera hill, nine of these hectares surround the "Rocca Cerreto" hill from south-east to south-west, planted on medium-textured white soil, sometimes mixed with clay and fossil sand of marine origin.

A couple of hectares of vineyards grow on the opposite hill, in the area called "Santa Tillia".
At each harvest, only the healthiest and ripest bunches, selected already in the vineyard, reach the cellar and become elegant wines that express all the strong personality of their land.

 

Roero Arneis, symbol of Roero, is the only white wine produced on the farm.

More numerous are the reds, some to be drunk young, fragrant and fruity, such as Barbera d'Alba, others capable of standing the test of time, structured and full-bodied such as Roero, Nebbiolo d'Alba and Castellinaldo, a precious selection of origin of Barbera d'Alba.
