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 FARELLA Dark garnet in color. The nose is full of cranberry, pomegranate, sage, and white pepper. Opulent tannins provide a framework for black cherry and forest floor flavors. There is a strong sense of minerality that offers a note of salinity in the elegant finish.

From MOSNEL Chardonnay and subtly fruity Pinot Blanc, with a judicious touch of Pinot Noir to lend structure. Revealing in the glass a luminous white-gold shot through with pale green highlights, it opens to a thrust of vibrant, crisp fragrances, with cleanly-delineated citron and grapefruit, honeysuckle, and verbena, with just a hint of iodine. Crisp fruit notes of white peach and gooseberry characterizes the full-volumed palate that concludes with a lively, full-flavoured finish.
