When you hear the word "Barolo," many people will imagine a powerful, heavy wine that is the "wine of kings" and requires long-term aging.
But Poderi Gianni Gagliardo, based in the village of La Morra in Piedmont, is quietly overturning that notion.
They create an "elegant Barolo" that combines depth and elegance, yet is easy to drink.
This is truly a "new generation Barolo" born from the combination of tradition and innovation. 
The supple terroir of the La Morra hills
Gianni Gagliardo inherited the family business history that began in the 1860s and built it into what it is today.
He has several plots with different characteristics, mainly in La Morra, as well as in Monforte d'Alba and Serralunga.
To make the most of this diverse terroir, we take a different approach to each field, maximizing the expression of the fruit and soil.
Their respect for the individuality of each vineyard is the source of the suppleness of their wines.
A Barolo that can be enjoyed while young
Traditionally, Barolo has been considered a "giant of maturation" that takes many years to unfold.
However, Poderi Gianni Gagliardo's wines show beautiful harmony even at a young age.
The tannins characteristic of Nebbiolo are fine-grained, and the acidity is crisp yet smooth.
The aroma of black cherry, violet and licorice rises quietly and elegantly.
This brewer's new philosophy is "gentleness" that allows you to enjoy the wine without spending a lot of time.
Innovative methods supporting tradition
Gianni Gagliardo is committed to traditional long-term maceration and aging in large barrels.
It skillfully incorporates modern temperature control and precision peel extraction.
The goal is not to reduce the "power" but to bring out the "extended aftertaste."
The result is a style that is both classic and contemporary, subtle yet strong.
This is truly the new golden ratio for Barolo.
An elegant presence at the dining table
Its elegant structure also makes it a perfect match for food.
It goes well with red meat and roast duck, as well as truffle pasta and aged cheese.
The wine never comes too far forward.
The aroma unfolds with each bite, gently enhancing the flavor of the dish.
This is the moment when the "wine of kings" evolves into a "friend at the dinner table."
Poderi Gianni Gagliardo's Barolo
This wine perfectly combines the dignity of tradition with the lightness that modern tastes demand.
It is a symbol of a new era that values elegance over strength.
Enjoy the pure and soft aftertaste, like the gentle breeze of the La Morra hills.
