[Barolo with elegance within its strength]
Poderi Gianni Gagliardo, based in the hills of La Morra in Piedmont, represents a new era of Barolo. Their wines overturn the traditional image of Barolo as a heavy, time-consuming wine, instead featuring delicate, supple, and surprisingly pure fruit flavors.
The Colla family began growing grapes in the 1860s. In the 1970s, Gianni Gagliardo continued the family tradition, bringing the vineyard and winemaking philosophy into the modern era. Today, his sons take over the family estate, meticulously managing vineyards scattered across several villages, including La Morra, Monforte d'Alba, and Serralunga. They maximize the diversity of the terroir and faithfully capture the individuality of each plot in their bottles.
Their philosophy is "harmony over power, clarity over intensity." They gently extract the skins and meticulously control the temperature. They aim to create wines that open beautifully from a young age while also having the structure to withstand long-term aging. Nebbiolo exudes aromas of red fruits, scents of violets and licorice, and a lingering mineral finish. All of these elements blend intricately, flowing through the mouth like silk.
The style perfectly harmonizes the softness of La Morra with the depth of the vineyards of other villages, creating an aesthetic that lies somewhere between classic and modern. It pairs beautifully with richly aromatic dishes such as truffle-garnished tajarrin, roast duck, and aged cheeses.
Poderi Gianni Gagliardo makes Barolo, known as the "wine of kings," more accessible to everyday dining tables. Their wines, which combine proud tradition with a modern lightness, are truly a "revolution in elegance." Experience the new face of Barolo in your glass.
