Luigi Giordano Vino Rosso 2024

Grapes: Nebbiolo, Arneis

Region: Piedmont, Italy

Farming: Organic

A stone’s throw from the village center of Barbaresco, the winery was established by Giovanni Giordano in the 1930s during a time of profound crisis in the Italian wine world. After a period of growing and selling grapes, Giovanni’s son, Luigi, made the bold decision to vinify his own fruit, bottling the first wine under his label in 1958. For an independent grower like Luigi to bottle his own wine at a time when plans to establish an official appellation in Barbaresco were only in their infancy was nearly unthinkable. Today’s winery remains a spirited family effort, driven by the shared vision of Luigi himself, his daughter Laura, and his grandson Matteo. While business grew and Luigi established himself as a grower-producer during the second half of the twentieth century, the winery continued to reinvest in the land. Today, Luigi remains an inspiring presence as his daughter Laura and grandson Matteo, a graduate of the enology school in Alba, have gradually assumed daily activities in the vineyard and the cellar. This Vino Rosso is a unique blend of 80% Nebbiolo and 20% Arneis harvested from estate vineyards located inside the historic village of Barbaresco.
