Gigi Rosso Barolo Bricco San Pietro DOCG 2015

 

The green label indicates an excellent Cru, a single vineyard that conveys year by year the characteristics of the soil of origin.  A Barolo endowed with a strong personality, strictly tied to its land of origin.  Refined for 3 years in Slavonian oak barrels and perfect for long ageing in the bottle.  “Barolo is a wine that stays young with ageing.”  Gigi Rosso

The Land of Great Wines

 

At the heart of the Langhe, nature gives us its best fruits. 

With great care we look after these gifts to give birth to renowned classic wines.

 

“I was born in the vineyards.  I grew up in the vineyards. 

And the vineyards are my heart and soul.  The Langhe are my home.

​

This land gave me a very precious gift.  As a thank you, every year, I harvest its fruits and look after them like a mother looks after her babies.

 

They call me enologist, they say I'm a wine expert, they refer to me as a pioneer. 

But there's only one truth: when nature speaks I listen.

 

My land tells a unique story and I'm always listening.”

 

A Family Tradition

 

Maurizio and his son Andreas are now managing Gigi Rosso.

 

The passage to the second and third generation brings energy and new ideas to the winery.

 

Tradition lives on looking forward to the future with passion and dedication for excellent Italian wines.
