Daglio Giovanni Vineyard, Piedmont

Generations of winemakers.

• The Daglio Giovanni vineyard was taken to another level when, in the 1980’s, Giovanni Daglio abandoned his studies in pharmacy in Genova, took up the reins and strove to reinvigorate the farm that his family had been working for generations.
• In the early 1900s, grandfather Vincenzo had breathed life and soul into the land at Costa Vescovato, transforming his grapes into wine with the same passion as he put into writing his poetry.  At that time, nearly all the wine was sold from demijohns where people brought their own containers to fill up, but with Giovanni’s arrival back into the family business, they started putting wine labels on their own bottles thus bringing them status and recognition.
• Since the 1980’s, Giovanni has continued producing the vineyard’s traditional wines keeping their original names and specialising in Timorasso wine, which is a typical grape of the Colli Tortonesi region.
