Orlando Abrigo

Giovanni’s grandparents were winemakers who sold their grapes at the market in Alba. His father Orlando returned to winemaking in 1973, proudly welcoming the DOCG recognition in 1981. Giovanni’s first harvest was in 1986 and he has not looked back. Orlando Abrigo's Barbarescos are powerful and rich. New vineyards have been acquired (Montersino in 1996) and an avante garde winery was built in 2013, along with a beautiful set of rooms anappatrtments nestled in the hils of the magical village of Treiso.

Excitingly, Giovanni holds back a certain number of bottles of the best vintages, which he offers again at a later date. These historic vintages are in their prime and, as the critic scores testify, make stunning drinking.
