Thursday 17th September | 6:30pm
Nestled among the rolling hills of Barbaresco, Luigi Giordano is a family winery with more than 90 years of history and a deep connection to the land. The estate was founded by Giovanni Giordano in the 1930s, with his son Luigi later taking the important step of vinifying the family's own grapes from 1960. That decision marked the beginning of a commitment to quality and terroir that continues through the generations today.
At the heart of Luigi Giordano are its exceptional Barbaresco vineyards, including the renowned crus of Asili, Montestefano, Cavanna and Ovello. The estate's approach is firmly rooted in allowing each vineyard to express its individual character, with traditional winemaking techniques that include extended maceration and maturation in large Slavonian oak botti. Particularly special is Cavanna, the family's most cherished vineyard and a historic single-vineyard expression that reflects the elegance, structure and distinctive character of Barbaresco.
Discover the wines of Luigi Giordano at this special dinner, hosted by Christian Canala, Managing Director of Vinify, who will guide guests through the wines and share his knowledge and passion for the region. Together with a carefully curated Piedmont-inspired five-course menu by Executive Chef Nick Bergin, this dinner promises an intimate journey through Nebbiolo, terroir and generations of Barbaresco winemaking tradition.
