From this winery

The Giribaldi winery began at the beginning of the 20th century and has been producing wines for three generations. In those days, times were hard, and agriculture was not only a means of income but also a real pride for those who loved their land even though it made them suffer so much. It was normal for them to make sacrifices for the land they brought up on.

Today, thinking of the traditions and love for something alive like wine, we simply continue the work of our father and grandfather with the same passion and devotion. We are a family not only because we represent the third generation of a wine family, but above all, because we are one big FAMILY made up of 10 people, who every day proudly work all together, and share the same passion.
