SAN PONZIO
VIGNA NEBBIOLO 2020
GIANNI GAGLIARDO WINERY • PIEDMONT • ITALY
"The liquid silk of Nebbiolo: a single-vineyard wine that captures the aromatic poetry of the Piedmontese mists."
The Refinement of a Family "Cru"
Vigna San Ponzio 2020 is the result of the renowned Gianni Gagliardo family's vision regarding the potential of Nebbiolo beyond the borders of Barolo. This specific single-vineyard site, with its privileged exposure and sandy-clay soils, yields a wine of unusual elegance. The 2020 vintage allowed for delicate extraction, resulting in a red that does not need decades to show its greatness: it is vibrant, fragrant, and possesses that noble, firm tannic structure that defines the best wines of northern Italy.

What does it mean that it is a single-vineyard (Vigna) wine?
It means that all the grapes come from a specific plot with unique soil and climate characteristics, which guarantees superior quality and a character that cannot be replicated by blending grapes from different areas.

Although it is delicious now due to its fruit profile, the 2020 has sufficient structure to age gracefully for the next 10 to 12 years.
