Poderi Luigi Einaudi

Matteo Sardagna has completely revolutionized Einaudi over the last few years. These significant changes will take time to yield results, but they are large in scale. For starters, Sardagna has added to the family's vineyard holdings with acquisitions in Bussia, Villero, Monvigliero and Bric Micca. It's always great to see Piedmont's historic families investing in their region rather than elsewhere, in my opinion.

Winemaking, once very modern in style, has transitioned to a far more classically inspired approach. Long fermentations followed by submerged cap maceration are now the rule. The Barolos spend 28-30 months in cask before being racked into cement and prepared for bottling. I found the 2019s quite youthfully austere. It will be interesting to see how they develop in the coming years. I suspect the time in wood, long by today's standards, might be a bit too long, but these are the sorts of things that become clear only over time.
