The winery is situated about seven kilometres from Alba, the Langhe's capital, and more precisely in Treiso, a village with a great wine vocation. The wines produced here come from renowned vineyards which have always been property of the Grasso's family.

The grapes grow and ripen in the prestigious suri of this region situated in the immediate vicinity of the Grasso's wine cellar, from where you can enjoy the beautiful landscape of the hillsides crowned by the Alps - where the Monviso stands out majestically - all the way down to Alba.
