Gianni Gagliardo Barolo 2019

The Gagliardo family's story is rooted in a legacy of winemaking that began in Piedmont's Langhe region in 1847. In 1973, Gianni Gagliardo established the modern winery, and today his sons Stefano, Alberto, and Paolo carry on the family tradition as the sixth generation, actively involved in every aspect of the estate. Their work is deeply connected to the Barolo region, where they have carefully expanded their holdings to include eight Barolo Cru vineyards across five villages, with 26 acres in Langhe and 23 in Roero. Their philosophy centers on expressing the unique character of each vineyard, allowing the Nebbiolo grape to reflect its true origins through wines that are complex yet elegant and balanced. Every vine and parcel is treated with precision and care. Beyond their renowned Barolos, the family has also led the revival of Favorita, an inland expression of Vermentino. This effort reflects their commitment to both tradition and innovation, and to capturing the purest expression of Italy's winemaking heritage.

Tasting Notes

Each of the eight parcels is typically vinified separately to preserve its unique character before blending. The process involves manual selection of bunches followed by 10 to 14 days of maceration in steel containers. After 100% malolactic fermentation, the wine is aged for approximately 24 to 26 months in large 3,500-liter oak barrels to develop its polished structure. Tasting Notes Color & Nose: Intense ruby color with high transparency and garnet reflections. The nose is effusive with aromas of cherry, plum skin, rose petals, violets, and subtle blueberry. Tasting Notes: A graceful and balanced palate featuring lively, refined tannins. Savory and fleshy flavors of red fruits are supported by hints of licorice powder, rhubarb, and spices. Pairing: An ideal companion for red meat, game, mushroom-based dishes, and mature cheeses.
