Nebbiolo d’Alba Superiore doc San Ponzio Gianni Gagliardo 2019

The Nebbiolo d'Alba Superiore San Ponzio of Gianni Gagliardo is an elegant and complex red wine, produced with Nebbiolo grapes grown in the San Ponzio vineyard in Monticello d’Alba district, in the hilly area of Roero. This Nebbiolo has a beautiful ruby red color with garnet reflections, while in the nose it is fruity with notes of ripe fruit and spices. The taste is complex, balanced, soft, enveloping and characterized by an excellent persistence. The Nebbiolo d'Alba San Ponzio by Gianni Gagliardo is perfect to drink in combination with main courses of red meat, such as beef or lamb, fondue with truffles, “polenta concia” or aged cheeses.

The history of the winery Poderi Gianni Gagliardo derives in the distant 800, in the district of Santo Stefano Belbo with the Colla Family. Generation after generation,  Paolo Gagliardo reached La Morra, where he began to vinify the Barolo wine. In 1990 his second son Alberto joined the company and later Stefano after his studies at the Enologica school.  Finally in 2010, after completing his studies at the University of Agraria, his third and final son Paolo joined the company. In July 2017, the family acquired the Tenuta Garetto, a beautiful estate located in Agliano Terme, in the heart of the production area of Barbera d'Asti. All the wines produced come from their own vineyards and are characterized by the constant search for elegance and character.
