Notes on the Wine

The Rosso s a delicate color of light garnet. The bouquet is full and fruity, with hints of crisp dried flowers, dried plum and red fruit jam. The light spicy notes are just delicately noticed. The wine is full-bodied and elegant, well balanced and drinkable particularly.

Vinification: Traditional grape selection during the harvest and blending of fruit from vineyards situated within the Barbaresco zone  After a soft pressing and crushing of the grapes, the fermentation develops at a controlled temperature and is accompanied by a maceration period of 8-10 days. In this whole period daily pumping are performed.  After the racking and the initial period of clarification, the wine matures for 3-4 months in oak casks, then is refined in bottles for at least 3 months.

Notes on the Prodcuer

A stone’s throw from Barbaresco’s village centre among the hills that frame the Tanaro River's sinuous course, at the very heart of Piedmont's wine country, the winery and its vineyards were founded 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 grapes in 1960. Luigi Giordano is now a fourth-generation winery whose vineyards are planted in some of Barbaresco’s most prestigious crus, including Asili and Montestefano. One particular Barbaresco bottling from the cru of Cavanna showcases the winery’s elegant, hands-off style of winemaking and currently represents the only single-vineyard cru of its kind on the market.

Since 2000, Luigi has been aided in the running of the winery by two of his daughters, Laura and Silvia – both of whom are as passionate about wine making as their dad and grandad before them.
