Join us in Piemonte to see just how special a place Rodello really is. Our friends at Giribaldi will be waiting to greet you with a plate of amazing antipasti and glasses of the best wine tasting experience you’ll ever have. We guarantee it! And the best part? By making a nominal donation to the Winefathers program, you can have a row at the vineyard named for you.
Long exposure shot from Rodello looking toward Alba and Diano d’Alba at night. The fog comes in thick, voluminous, and creeps like a silent ghost toward the valley below the Langhe hills. Piemonte is great during the day, but at night it has a quiet, romantic magic going on.
You can see why the region is known for “nebbiolo”, from the word for fog.
There’s something magical about grape vines in fall, their harvest already collected, the fog off in the distance as winter approaches, and we dream of wines to come.

Congrats to our friends in Rodello for this excellent result from a renowned critic. And yes, this wine is not only fabulous, but a fabulous buy. If you can find a better Italian red at this price point, we’ll buy your next bottle. It really is a $60 wine, but it’s priced in the mid-$30s. Grab it when you see it.
The color palates are only matched the amazing flavors on the dinner table, and the fireworks that happen when your truffle pastas and locally sourced artisanal meats and cheeses are mated with local Nebbiolo, Barbera, Dolcetto, and Barolos.

You can see why Piemonte is one of our favorite regions, and it’s not just the great hospitality, amazing food, world class wines, bucolic vineyards, and undulating hills populated with quaint towns (need we say more?)…
From our favorite winery make for an interesting subject, and enjoying them again is reliving the good times with friends and family spent over a glass or two of Piemonte’s best.
