Founded in 1892, the winery covers 27 hectares of vineyards and its main core is in Monferrato.

Luigi Einaudi Estates

Poderi Luigi Einaudi is a farm founded in 1897 by the President of the Italian Republic, Luigi Einaudi, in the heart of the Langhe, in Dogliani.

The winery’s architecture is characterized externally by two large stacked blocks reproducing two wine crates and surrounded by the rows of vines of its production.

Not only externally but also internally it is capable of amazement: large multicolored murals, Gufram design pieces like an unconventional and dreamlike pop dream combined with the quality of wines from original labels for whites and reds such as Barbera, Nebbiolo, Nascetta and Dolcetto.

The winery is committed to environmental sustainability and uses organic and biodynamic farming techniques to cultivate its vineyards. It is also dedicated to the preservation and recovery of native grape varieties in the area.

Not just big names: the best “underdog” wineries in the langhe

However, there are not only well-known companies such as those listed: it is beyond enriching to visit small local producers who will give you a welcome that is perhaps less “prestigious,” but certainly more familiar and genuine. Below are some suggestions!

• Fratelli Serio e Battista Borgogno

  After more than 120 years of production in one of Barolo’s most prized cru, the Borgogno family is seeing its fifth generation of family management.

  The Fratelli Serio e Battista Borgogno winery is a great example of the evolution of these lands, which have been capable of transforming their peasant nature into an asset of the utmost value.

  Like many others in the Langhe area, the Borgogno family has a long dynasty of farmers and winemakers behind it, as well as historic vineyards, whose value today has greatly increased from its original value.

  What distinguishes this company from others is the ability to preserve that genuine soul, full of love for the land, and to grow with it. Here, after over 120 years of wine production in one of the finest Barolo crus, the Borgogno family sees their fifth generation of exclusive family management, a warm welcome and a passionate production, in which every member of the family collaborates.

  Furthermore, for two generations now, an all-female management has been chosen: Anna and Paola Borgogno initially, and Federica Boffa and Emanuela Bolla today.

  One shared objective: to enhance and safeguard the authenticity of the vintage and of the individual vineyards, with the maximum respect for the terroir and biodiversity.

  A family in thevanguard since the early 1970s, when founder Giuseppe Migliasso was already making wine from Arneis, Barbera and Nebbiolo, which still lacked the Denominazione di Origine Controllata.

• Francesco Rosso

  Francesco Rosso farm opens its doors to guests to offer authentic experiences: guided tastings, lunches with traditional Piedmontese dishes prepared in-house and cooking classes dedicated to local recipes

  At 400 meters above sea level, the village of Santo Stefano Roero is one of the highest municipalities in Roero.

  The territory, characterized by hills rich in wooded areas alternating with vineyard areas, is known for the presence of the Rocche del Roero: a constantly evolving geological erosion phenomenon.

  The Francesco Rosso farm, producer of high-quality Roero wines, is reached along scenic roads that offer views of a spectacular landscape, rich with small villages and characteristic towers, witnesses to human presence since ancient times.

  At the helm of the family-run estate are the owners Francesco and his wife Maria. They personally accompany guests on visits and tastings of the estate’s production.

  Current production is around 15,000 bottles per year, made exclusively with grapes from their own vineyards, producing Roero DOCG and Arneis, excellence of this territory, Nebbiolo and Barbera d’Alba (also available in Superiore versions), Langhe Rosso, Langhe Nebbiolo and Arneis Passito.

  Promotion of the Italian quality wine sector

  Francesco is one of nearly 1,500 members of FIVI, Italian Federation of Independent Winemakers.

  It is an association that puts the winemaker at the center, understood as a figure representing the entire supply chain: from the deep connection with the territory, of which they feel custodian, to the glass, of which they are guarantor in direct relationship with the final consumer.

• Diego Morra

  The winery excels in the production of Barolo DOCG, with particular emphasis on the Monvigliero version, one of the best crus of Barolo. In addition to other typical wines of the Langhe, Pelaverga stands out, a typical red from Verduno and one of the smallest DOCs in Italy.

  Morra, Monvigliero, Mosca. The three letters “M” enclosed in the company logo tell and place the Diego Morra winery, which has been based in Cascina Mosca since the early 1900s.

  The farm is located along the panoramic road that connects Alba and Verduno, a small village known as the sentinel of the Langhe, for its position as a historical garrison of the surrounding territory.

  On these hills, dedicated to the cultivation of the Nebbiolo grape, the company produces some typical DOCs of the area: Langhe Nebbiolo, Barbera d’Alba, Dolcetto d’Alba, Langhe Chardonnay, Langhe Rosato, and four types of Barolo DOCG: Zinzasco, del Comune di Verduno, San Lorenzo di Verduno, and Monvigliero.

  The latter is the flagship wine of the winery, whose name derives from one of the best cru in the Barolo sub-zones and especially Verduno.

  The area is also the territory of choice for Pelaverga, one of the smallest DOCs in Italy, obtained from the eponymous Piedmontese black native grape variety.
