Producer Notes A fierce traditionalist, Rinaldi has become one of the remaining few of the original old guard that refused to take on the modern style of winemaking when it became fashionable in the 1980’s. He also follows the notion of blending to create balance with most of the wines made from four vineyards in

Producer Notes Trediberri was set up by three friends in the village of Berri in 2007 and they have done very well commercially. So there is no glorious history of ancient vintages and they concentrate on a balanced and harmonious style of wine which can be accessed early but we’ll need to wait to find

Producer Notes Luciano Sandrone produces really quite a lot of wine from extremely low yielding vines, meaning that there are a lot of vines. His iconic Barolo Cannubi Boschis came to prominence in the 1989 and 1990 vintages, and whilst those two vintages are really rather expensive, other vintages are not such bad value for

Producer Notes Elio Grasso’s wines are reasonably good value for money in Piedmont. Much of the good work here is done in the fields and the wines therefore reflect their terroirs well. Perhaps the best known and best value is the Barolo Ginestra Casa Matè, but all of the single vineyard offerings are reasonably good

The vineyards stretch across the region with several plots located in the top Barolo crus; the fruit from Monvigliero and Gramolere are made into single vineyard wines in good years. Their blended Barolo
