Luigi Baudana is one of the smallest wineries in Serralunga d'Alba. Located in the village of the same name, with its 2.6 hectares of vineyards "Luigi Baudana" is an authentic garagist expression of Barolo.
For over thirty years Luigi and Fiorina have been cultivating the Serralunga vineyards that have belonged to their family for five generations. The care for their land is reflected in the tenderness that unites them.
In January 2009, Luigi and Fiorina entrusted the Vajra family with the unique task of becoming the guardians of their family's history, name and vineyards. To perpetuate Luigi's legacy, learn from his experience and seek authenticity in every wine. Read more
