As
wine culture is complex and subtle and needs to be instilled and taught, the
standard of quality of the products we offer is excellent so as not to
disappoint not only expectations, but also the imagination of people whose
heart has always been with us and who have looked with longing on Piedmont as a
land of dreams.
This is the spirit on which the company is based, benefiting as it does,
furthermore, from the outstanding climatic and soil conditions of its vineyards
combined with great passion for the craft of transforming their yeld into fine
wines with such particular tasting qualities.
Azienda
Giribaldi Mario was founded at the begining of the xx century and has now been
farming for three generations. Times in those days were hard and agriculture
was not only one of the rare sources of economic support but a reason to be
proud of those strong ties with a ground that caused so much suffering. The
people however, were used to sacrificing themselvers for the land.
Today following the example set by tradition, and for the love of something as
genuine and alive as wine the work begun by our fathers and grandfathers before
them lives on with the same passion.
Times are still hard and changeable.
The quantity produced is a final result and represents the logical consequence
of a continual process of improvement and consolidation that begins with the
tilling of the land and continues with the technology of transformation.
What
has not changed since then is the fortunate location of the winery in the heart
of the Langhe clearly an extraordinary wine growing land, but above all a land
for culture and traditions. The colour, sounds, smell and flavours emerging
from this area are the true expression for culture, a means of communication,
an image in itself. Our efforts and commitment are directed towards these
issues; making good wines produced in keeping with the traditions of our land
that have the right tasting properties for everyday consumption and will prove
pleasing and stimulating on every social occasion.
One
of our main objectives is to better the quality of the grapes through a
selection of the vine clones, without however leaving behing the other
important factors in the vineyard.
A new important novelty which has been introduced into the company, is the
production of biological wine. In a market which is becoming more and more
aware of the use of chemical products in the alimentary sector, we thought it
necessary, and interesting to move in this direction. On the other hand,
biological is recognized at a European level and it is an opportunity directed
not only towards a consumers niche but an increasing reality wich is destined
to confront directly with the conventional production. Seeing as the demand for
organic wine is increasing, above all from the overseas it is understandable
that it is in our interest to work in this direction. In fact 70% of our
company's production is exported in different countries.
A choice made with the intention of communicating to the world the image of our
civilization, that can really be the ambassador for our wines, our people and
all the other aspects of the culture of our Langhe.
