Luigi planted Chardonnay and a touch of Sauvignon in 1980. Admittedly, it is not easy to farm Chard and Sauvignon on land which has produced the most structured Barolos since ancient times. However, the Vaira family wanted to carry on Luigi’s tradition and were excited to work with more mature vines with lower yields and beautiful fruit. To give the wine more depth and elegance, the kids decided to steal a little bit of their father’s beloved Riesling in Barolo as well as add the local grape variety Nascetta, from their vineyards in the village of Novello. Whole-cluster pressed, spontaneously fermented in stainless steel. Malolactic is avoided to preserve freshness. Aged until the Spring in stainless steel. Fined with bentonite (vegan). The label is a generous gift from Gianni Gallo, which is a hymn to the untamed power and strength of the wines from Serralunga d’Alba…and life itself.

Region: Piedmont

The region of Piedmont in the cool, breezy north-western part of Italy is renowned throughout the world for high quality, flavorful and delicious red wines, and for the elegant and refined sparkling wines such as Asti which typify the area. The region is located at the foothills of the Alps, close to the French and Swiss borders, and benefits from some interesting micro-climates formed by its proximity to the mountain range. The key grapes for the fine red wines of Piedmont are Nebbiolo, Dolcetto and Barbera – all powerful varietals which are packed full of a range of fruit flavors and which have an affinity for oak making them ideal for aging When it comes to the sparkling Asti, wineries cultivate plenty of Moscato grapes, whose relative transparency make them ideal for expressing their terroir and providing some interesting flavors in the bottle.

Country: Italy

For several decades in the mid to late twentieth century, Italy's reputation for quality wines took a fairly serious blow. This was brought about partly due to lack of regulation in certain regions, and too much regulation in others. This led to several wineries in the beautiful and highly fertile region of Tuscany making the bold move to work outside of the law, which they saw as responsible for the drop in quality in Tuscan wines. They believed that they had the expertise and the generations of experience necessary with which to make truly excellent, world class wines, and set about doing just that. These 'Super Tuscans', as they came to be known, quickly inspired the rest of Italy to improve their produce, and now, Italian wine producers in the twenty-first century are widely recognised to be amongst the best in the world. Regulation and law began to change, and wine drinkers across the globe woke up to the outstanding wines coming out of Italy, which are continuing to improve and impress to this day.
