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: The Luigi Giordano estate was established in the early 19th Century by Giovanni Giordano. This was an era when the Italian wine industry was struggling with several challenges and going through newly industrial, social, and economic changes. Giovani's son, Luigi decided to vinify the grapes himself after having grown and sold them for many years. And so, in 1960, the Luigi Giordano wines were born. His decision to highlight the potential of the terroir and go down the path of quality winemaking was instrumental in the estate's success and paved the way for many other Barbaresco producers of his time.
Today, Luigi Giordano is the only fifth-generation winery to own vineyards planted in some of Barbaresco's most prestigious crus, including Asili, Montestefano and Cavanna. Silvia and Laura, Luigi's daughters now run the estate. They're assisted by Laura's son, Matteo Rocca. Matteo's ambition is guided by a deep respect for his grandfather's elegant and loyally traditional style. Long maceration time on skins and maturation in large botti are the defining features of wines that gain in definition and detail every year, continuing to honour the impressive sites they hail from. We trust that Matteo's inaugural Barbaresco's from elite MGA crus will bolster your passion for Barbaresco's exceptional terroir as much as they did ours.
