‘Autinbej,’ meaning ‘beautiful vineyards’ in Piemontese dialect, is Ca’ del Baio’s homage to traditional local winemaking; it is a tribute specifically to Giulio's late father, Ernesto, who often used the Piemontese word to describe the best vineyard exposures, and evokes a bygone era when flagship wines were the union of grapes from the best, sunniest parts of different crus. 100% Nebbiolo from young estate vineyards in Marcarini, Ferrere and Montersino, it is fermented with native yeasts in stainless steel, and aged two years in botti. It's the most immediately charming of the trio, brimming with juicy raspberry, ripe cherry, violets, orange peel, and a touch of sweet spice. Supple, generous, and wonderfully aromatic, with polished tannins and just enough savory grip to remind you this is serious Nebbiolo. An exceptionally inviting Barbaresco that delivers the region's unmistakable character without demanding years of patience.
