Description
Style of wine
The Gianni Gagliardo Roero Arneis from the Poderi Gianni Gagliardo winery is a still white wine that is an authentic expression of Piedmont. Produced exclusively from Arneis grapes, it falls under the prestigious Roero Arneis denomination, offering a structured profile with an incredibly fresh character. It stands out for its elegant and savoury style, characterised by distinct citrus notes, white flower aromas, and a vibrant mineral vein that concludes with a delicate almond aftertaste. The absence of malolactic fermentation and a measured ageing on the lees give this wine remarkable immediate drinkability and interesting ageing potential.
Origin
This label originates from the historic Roero area, a region in Piedmont renowned for its unique geological composition. The vineyards are rooted in particularly sandy soils, a fundamental characteristic that gives the wine its distinct personality, enhancing its savouriness and aromatic richness. The local climate is characterised by mild and rainy winters, ideal for replenishing the soil's water reserves, followed by summers with high but not extreme temperatures. This climatic balance protects the vines, promoting optimal ripening and ensuring healthy bunches with perfect natural acidity.
How it is produced
The production process begins in early September with a careful harvest, followed by a very slow pressing of the bunches to extract only the purest must. The subsequent alcoholic fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature, while malolactic fermentation is intentionally avoided to preserve the maximum freshness and vibrancy of the fruit. Once this phase is complete, the wine undergoes ageing 'sur lie' for five months. During this period, the noble lees are kept in constant motion to enrich the structure of the liquid, providing greater complexity and smoothness on the palate before final bottling.
History and curiosities
This exclusive wine originates from the particularly sandy soils of the Roero, a geological element capable of imparting a distinct personality. A fascinating feature of this vintage is linked to the climate: a rainy winter replenished the water reserves, protecting the vines from summer stress and ensuring a harvest perfectly aligned with the classic calendar. As a unique stylistic choice to enhance the natural freshness of the fruit, malolactic fermentation is completely avoided, allowing it to develop significant evolutionary potential over time.

In 1961, Paolo Colla moved to La Morra, realising his lifelong dream of producing Barolo. In 1972, Gianni Gagliardo married Paolo's only daughter and soon began working with him.
The bottling of the estate's wines went from amateur to professional in 1974, and since then it has been a continuous evolution. In the 2000s, the new generation gradually came into play. Today, Stefano, Alberto and Paolo work alongside their father in the management and development of the company's projects. Read more
