Also situated in the commune of Barbaresco – to be precise on map sheet 6 – is the Pora cru, which corresponds as a denomination with the farm of the same name. Of medium-large size, it offers elevations varying between 170 and 270m a.s.l.

Pora is one of the most extensive and finest sites for the growing of Nebbiolo, with the sole exception of the lower part of the hillside (a long, narrow strip facing west, but close to the valley). Very highly recommended for the growing of Nebbiolo is above-all the area known as Cittadella, lying at the foot of Bricco del Faset in a sort of central amphitheatre with a southerly and south-easterly aspect.

Deserving of great attention too is the area below the Bricco del Faset hill that borders on Asili, facing from west to east.

Ca’ del Baio tends 0.3 hectares of estate vineyards planted with Nebbiolo on the Pora cru, with aspects ranging from south to west. These vineyards produce one wine: Barbaresco Docg Pora.
