We taste and visit with many producers in the Langhe and typically ask them what they like to drink and what other growers they respect. Lano Gianluigi has come up many times - for truly farming the right way and for the fact that his wines are recognized as true wines of terroir; long aging and typically vin de garde in style. Perhaps telling, we find that the better known nationally imported producers are referred to much less often during these conversations, save for a few truly legendary ones.
Where many Barbaresco producers underlying the current renaissance choose a style based more solely on fruit and generous structure, the wines of Lano Gianluigi are decidedly medium bodied yet strictly structured- with great refinement and powdery tannin to complement the beautiful aromatic intensity.
