Characteristics & Details
About this wine
The grapes to produce the Roero Arneis DOCG Poderi Gianni Gagliardo are pressed very slowly. The must undergoes fermentation at a controlled temperature. Mallactic is not done to preserve as much freshness as possible. During the brief “sur lie” refinement the lees are constantly kept in motion.
This aromatic white wine is made from Arneis grapes grown in the Roero region, on the left bank of the Tanaro river. According to popular tradition, the term “arneis” in Piedmontese dialect usually indicates an outgoing and original individual, but also a little rebellious.
Known for its sensational Barolos, Poderi Gianni Gagliardo boasts 30 hectares of vineyards including sites in top Barolo crus like Lazzarito, Castelletto, Monvigliero, Mosconi and Fossati. The estate was founded by the Colla family who had been making wine in Piemonte since at least 1847, but the property’s name comes from Gianni Gagliardo who married Paolo Colla’s daughter, Marivanna, committing himself both to the family and to the vines. Today the estate is run by Gianni’s three sons. The Gagliardo philosophy has remained little-changed since the 1960s when Paolo Colla made the estate’s first Barolos; the family seeks to make wines that are above all enjoyable to drink while expressing the unique qualities of their top vineyard sites. In the vineyard the family use biodynamic practices and minimal intervention is the norm when the grapes arrive at the winery to express the purity and intensity of their top quality grapes. In 2017 the family purchased the 15 hectare Tenuta Garetto in Monferrato’s Nizza appellation. This subzone in the Barbera d’Asti hills offers exceptional terroir for Barbera and will allow the Gagliardo brothers to expand and further enhance their portfolio with the estate’s old Barbera vines.
