Product Description: The fruit comes from various parts of Luigi Giordano’s plots. The Vino Rosso is a blend of indigenous grapes.
80% Nebbiolo, 20% Roero Arneis co-fermented. Low maceration (4-5 days) to preserve the freshness of the wine.
A Nebbiolo dominant blend, this wine is light, lithe and refreshing. It’s made of a super unique blend including 20% Roero Arneis, which adds aromatics and lift to the wine, softening the tannins. This brilliantly easy-drinking, chillable red, is translucent ruby in the glass, filled with ripe strawberry, red cherry, fleshy peach characters, and dried rose petals, the Nebbiolo signature feature.

Producer Info: Not far from the centre of Barbaresco, among the hills that border the sinuous Tanaro river, the Luigi Giordano estate was founded by Giovanni Giordano in the 1930s. The Italian wine world was going through profound changes and challenges then. So, after having grown and sold grapes for most of the estate’s existence, Giovani’s son, Luigi decided to vinify the grapes himself from 1960. His decision to highlight the potential of the terroir and go down the path of quality winemaking paved the way for many other Barbaresco producers of his time.
Today, it’s the only fifth-generation winery owning vineyards planted in some of Barbaresco’s most prestigious crus, including Asili and Montestefano, and Cavanna. The Cavanna cru epitomises Luigi Giordano’s hands-off winemaking style and constitutes the only (a monopole) single-vineyard cru of its kind on the market.
