The story of the Gagliardo family is a testament to a legacy of knowledge and expertise, first cultivated in Piedmont's famed Langhe zone in 1847. A century and a half later, a determined young man named Gianni Gagliardo carried that torch, establishing the winery as we know it today in 1973. Now, the sixth generation—his sons Stefano, Alberto, and Paolo—are the devoted guardians of the estate, deeply involved in every step of the process of the original family project.

Their work is an art form rooted in a deep understanding of the land, the renowned Barolo region in Piedmont. Over the years, the Gagliardo family has carefully acquired vineyards throughout all the Barolo region the estate now boasts 8 Barolo Cru vineyards in 5 villages, spanning approximately 26 acres in Langhe and 23 acres in Roero, producing some of the finest wines in the area.

The Gagliardo are masters of their terroir, and their philosophy is to allow each individual vineyard to speak for itself. This dedication allows them to express the truest character of the Nebbiolo grape, creating complex but not complicated wines that are a pure, elegant, and balanced expression of their unique origins. For the Gagliardo family, every single vine is important, every single parcel is unique, and every detail makes the difference.

The family's pioneering spirit extends beyond their iconic Barolos. They have also been at the forefront of a major project, pioneering the revival of the inland Vermentino, the Favorita, a classic Italian white grape. This commitment to both the established and the forgotten speaks to their unwavering pursuit of purity and expression in every single wine they create and their deep connection to the purest Italian roots.
