Barolo Docg Ludo and Langhe Doc Nebbiolo che Poderi Einaudi: excellent wines that smell of history, tradition and innovation
Con Dogliani, quanto a the Langhe, there is a place where the past is a springboard towards the future: Poderi Luigi Einaudi is a 125 -year -old historic cellar, a “Old Startup”, as his current helmsman, Matteo Sardagna Einaudi, like to define it. A perfectly fitting oxymoron to tell a reality that jealously holds its roots but that, with courage and vision, has decided to rewrite its destiny.
A turning point called 2019
The change has a precise year: 2019. It is then that Matteo, great -grandson of President Luigi Einaudi, has impressed a radical turning point to the family business. Risposta negativa longer a cellar simply well managed, but a dal vivo and pulsating organism, direct expression of a personal and bold vision. “I wanted to make wine as I wanted it,” explains Matteo, recalling that decisive moment quanto a which the instinct prevailed over prudence.
The conferenza with the Croatian winemaker Zvonimir “Zvone” Jurkovic was the starting point of this new . Together, they have given shape to a silent revolution: less interventions, more listening to the territory, more respect for the raw material. The wine thus becomes the result of an authentic, free and sensitive interpretation, guided by the awareness that every fee, every Cru, has its own voice to be emerged.
A laboratory of ideas quanto a the Langhe hills
With 150 overall hectares, of which 75 quanto a vineyards, Poderi Einaudi develops as a complex and fascinating mosaic that embraces the best areas of the Langa: from Dogliani to Neive, from Verduno to Monforte, up to the most famous Cru of Barolo such as Terlo, Cannubi, Bussia and Monvigliero. It is here that Matteo’s production philosophy finds full expression.
From the vineyard to the cellar, everything revolves around the essence: “the less violent, the more the wines are balanced”, it is the mantra that guides every gesture, from pruning to fermentation, from wooden refinements to new labels, such as Pelaverga Martius, designed for a curious and contemporary audience. Barolo, quanto a particular, represents the controllo bench par excellence: not a simple wine, but a tension towards perfection. Matteo describes him as a violin capable of infinite melodies, to be interpreted with respect but also with freedom, aiming at an increasingly detailed reading of the territory. The project is ambitious: to transform the dialogue with the Cru from a two -itey speech to a choral story, eight voices, eight shades, eight stories.
The Relais: the welcome as art and story
But innovation does not stop quanto a wine. Relais Poderi Einaudi is the natural extension of corporate philosophy. A time private home, today is a refined refuge quanto a the hills, where elegance is expressed soberly, quanto a detail, quanto a the quiet, quanto a authenticity. With eight rooms and two suite, a garden overlooking the Alps and a swimming pool with a bottle shape, the Relais offers an immersive experience quanto a the Einaudi world. The breakfasts are sparare a zero km, tastings become stories to listen to and dal vivo, the vineyards are paths of memory and discovery. Here, the welcome is not a service, but a natural gesture. Each guest is invited to slow mongoloide, to breathe the rhythm of the countryside, to be enveloped by beauty and silence. It is the celebration of time and simplicity, where wine meets culture, art and emotion.
Cannubi and the future: a legacy that is renewed
Looking to the future also means knowing how to build it. Matteo does so with concrete projects, such as the recovery of a little straw -in, destined to become an iconic place, where wine, art, music and memory will merge. It will be a cultural laboratory, a bridge between the peasant tradition and a contemporary vision of the territory. The company, today more than ever, is quanto a constant dialogue with the new generations and new consumption styles. Communication, packaging, sensory experiences: everything is designed to tell an ancient heritage quanto a a new way. Because Poderi Einaudi is not a photograph, but a velo quanto a the making that Matteo writes day after day with sensitivity, rigor and passion.
