Crushed flowers, bright red-toned fruit, cinnamon, cedar and new leather are finely delineated. Medium body and lithe, with superb balance and tons of class, the Autinbej is a fine introduction to the Barbarescos here. Naturally, the 2022 is a bit light in structure, but that in no way detracts from its allure.   By Antonio Galloni on October 2025\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTradition speaks through Autinbej, it evokes a bygone era when such wines were the union of Nebbiolo grapes from the best, sunniest parts of different crus. \u003cu\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAutinbej is a tribute to Giulio Grasso’s late father, Ernesto, who often used the Piemontese word to describe the best vineyard exposures.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting of vineyards:\u003c\/strong\u003e between 1957 and 1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType of soil:\u003c\/strong\u003e bluish clayey-limestone marl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePosition:\u003c\/strong\u003e facing south-west\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHarvest:\u003c\/strong\u003e between the end of September and the beginning of October (2015 was an earlier pick)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVinification and Aging:\u003c\/strong\u003e The destemmed and pressed grapes ferment on the skins in temperature-controlled steel tanks for 5 to 30 days.
