Luigi Einaudi

Region: Piemonte


History

Poderi Luigi Einaudi’s story began in 1897. When Luigi Einaudi, at the time only 23 years old, bought the farm ‘San Giacomo’ in the commune of Dogliani which comprised of 15 hectares of vineyards. Under his guidance, the farm bottled and sold Dolcetto, achieving success outside the borders of Piedmont. After this, he bought his first Nebbiolo vineyards, initially in Barolo and then in Neive. Despite his various roles in office, first as senator and then as President of the Republic of Italy, he never failed to miss a day of harvest.
Poderi Einaudi continues to grow following a familiar path of acquiring the highest quality vineyards in its surrounding area. Most recently, it has acquired the highly prestigious ‘Vigna Cannubi’ in Barolo, and other vineyards in the Barbaresco hills.
