Description

From the beginning they are wines of great finesse and longevity, that gets important recognition in the main wine expositions of the time. In 1972 Marivanna Colla, Paolo’s only daughter, married a young man from Roero: Gianni Gagliardo. Gianni is a young boy with so much ambition and is Paolo, with paternal affection, to transmit his passion for wine.
In 1986 the Paolo Colla Winery became Gianni Gagliardo, and a very special new logo was chosen: a falling mask that symbolizes the depth of wine and its ability to create strong bonds between people. ” In Vino Veritas ”..In the early nineties, experiments were carried out on the Favorita vines, as well as an increase in the surfaces, and the vinification of the historic family vineyards.

After his studies in Enology, the firstborn Stefano joins the company. The new generation lives the wine with great passion, and immediately participates actively its thinking.
