As a farmer, Luigi Einaudi displayed intelligence and far-sightedness. When he used rooted grafts on American rootstock to combat phylloxera, he brought modern viticulture to the Langhe. He decided in 1915 to create a cellar to produce and bottle wine, rather than just selling the grapes. He at once began to buy vineyards that enjoyed a particular position, exposure and soil quality in order to produce the best wines. Today, it is Matteo Sardagna Einaudi, Paola’s son, who is at the helm of the company, and they produce some of most exsquisite examples of Barolo, Barbaresco, and Dolcetto in Piedmont.

This hails from Bussia in Monforte d’Alba, where the particular mineral component of the terroir gives at the wine a great structure, an intense color, clear and enveloping tannins and a long and consistent aftertaste.
On the nose you get the scent of red fruits such as raspberry and pomegranate, very ripe with spicy and balsamic notes.
This wine will benefit from a long evolution in the bottle, up to 25-30 years and more in the best vintages.
The annual production is limited at few thousands bottles.
