Nestled beneath the shadows of the Alps in the Northwest corner of Italy lies Piedmont and the village of Barolo, known for its rich culinary traditions and their classic expressions of the Nebbiolo varietal. Traditionally Barolo wines are powerful and complex, generally requiring years of cellaring before they are ready to drink, although recently producers have begun to make their wines more accessible at an early age. This classic Barolo comes from one of the best-known vineyards from La Morra, which tends to make a more classic, lighter bodied wines which is slightly rustic with terrific tannins and length.
The Piedmontese tradition of fine wine production runs deep in the Gagliasso family. Sons learned from their fathers the way to craft elegant, complex wines from the soils of their estate in La Morra, and today Luca Gagliasso holds the reigns of this most excellent winery.
In the early 1980's the winery was completely modernized the winery to compliment their winemaking prowess, resulting in even higher quality production.
Piedmont is the most "Frenchified" of all Italian wine regions. The long valleys of the Alpine foothills lead to easier travel to France's southern coast and inland than to the rest of Italy. It is perhaps for this reason that the Piedmontese have long practiced the most refined wine traditions of any Italian region. Terroir-based wisdom trickled down from early French masters (monks, typically) to this area.
Known mostly for their reds (but producing some excellent whites,) from the early ripening Dolcetto grape to the lofty, deep reds of Barolo and Barbaresco crafted from the Nebbiolo grape, these wines are clearly crafted using centuries of terroir-based winemaking.
