Autinbej evokes a bygone era when such wines were the union of Nebbiolo grapes from the best, sunniest parts of different crus. Autinbej is a tribute to Giulio Grasso’s late father, Ernesto, who often used the Piemontese word to describe the best vineyard exposures. The first Autinbej harvest was in 2014, a year generally considered difficult in other parts of Piemonte and Italy, but successful in the small enclave of the Barbaresco denomination thanks to very favorable climatic conditions that year.
In addition to the traditional Barbaresco pairing with red meat, Autinbej’s structure and the fruity intensity makes it an ideal pairing with duck or pork, grilled or fried, and also with sweet and sour or spicy sauces.

Versatile and appealing, Autinbej expresses its great personality as early as 3 years after the harvest and can age beautifully for 10-15 years. We recommend storing the bottles in the dark at a constant temperature.

From PADRó & CO. Pale yellow in colour with a bright tone. Intense and agreeably spicy aromas greet the senses and envelop the nose with a mixture of floral, citrus and anise notes. Initial density on the palate with a pleasant sweetness followed by a sense of fresh zestiness. The aftertaste is elegant and very slightly tangy, tempting the taster to take another sip. ABV 15%
