TOP producer from Italy

The History of G.B. Burlotto

The G.B. Burlotto winery dates back to 1850, when Giovan Battista Burlotto founded the estate in Verduno, a small but historically significant village in the Barolo appellation. Housed in an elegant 18th-century building adorned with 32 medals attesting to its early success, the winery emerged during a transformative era in Italy, before the country’s unification. The Burlotto family initially practiced diversified farming, but Giovan Battista’s visionary turn toward viticulture marked the beginning of a legacy that would elevate Verduno’s standing alongside Barolo greats such as Serralunga and La Morra.

Giovan Battista, later honored with the title "Commendatore" for his contributions to the region, was a pioneer. He championed the Langhe’s indigenous grape varieties, expanded the family vineyards, and introduced bottled Barolo—a bold departure from the era’s preference for barrels and demijohns. His efforts earned G.B. Burlotto the prestigious role of official supplier to the Royal House of Savoy and, in 1899, the distinction of supplying wine for the Duke of the Abruzzi’s Arctic expedition to the North Pole. With more than 32 international medals, the winery’s renown spread beyond Italy, rivaling contemporaries such as Biondi-Santi and Vega Sicilia in a wine world dominated by France.

After Giovan Battista’s death in 1927, the estate passed to his son Francesco, whose untimely death left it in the hands of his grandson Ignazio. Facing the challenges of wartime Italy, Ignazio heroically preserved the rare Pelaverga grape, at one point becoming its sole producer and ensuring its survival as the "jewel of Verduno". In 1968, at just 17, Ignazio’s daughter Marina took the reins, navigating economic hardship with the help of her husband, Giuseppe Alessandria. Their perseverance laid the foundations for a revival under their son Fabio Alessandria, who joined the business in the early 2000s. Today, Fabio, a fifth-generation winemaker, has brought G.B. Burlotto back to prominence, earning perfect scores for wines such as Barolo Monvigliero and cementing its status as a Piedmontese icon.

G.B. Burlotto’s Terroirs and Vineyards

Spanning just over 16 hectares across 14 crus in four municipalities—Verduno, Barolo, Monforte d'Alba, and Roddi—G.B. Burlotto’s vineyards testify to the diversity and richness of the Langhe terroir. Seven of these crus lie within the Barolo appellation, each lending distinct characteristics to the winery’s acclaimed wines. Below, we explore the key vineyards that define G.B. Burlotto’s portfolio.

Monvigliero

Considered Verduno’s jewel and one of Barolo’s finest crus, Monvigliero covers 2.02 hectares across three south-facing plots at elevations reaching 300 meters. Planted between 1958 and 2015, the vines grow in the {quo>laminated marls of Sant'Agata Fossili", a geological formation of clay, silt, sand, and limestone dating back 7 to 11 million years. This terroir gives Barolo Monvigliero delicate tannins, floral finesse, and a saline finish—hallmarks of its elegance.

Neirane, Rocche dell'Olmo, Boscatto, and Breri

These Verduno crus—Neirane (1.1 ha, west-facing), Rocche dell'Olmo (1.25 ha), Boscatto (1.13 ha), and Breri (0.77 ha, south-facing)—lie on the younger "Cassano Spinola" formation. With less limestone than Monvigliero, these soils produce elegant, energetic Barolos with vibrant tannins and subtle warmth. Grapes from these sites, alongside Monvigliero, form the blend for Barolo Acclivi, while Breri contributes to the classic Barolo D.O.C.G.

Cannubi

In the municipality of Barolo, G.B. Burlotto owns 0.7 hectares in Cannubi Valletta, a historic cru dating to the 18th century. At 280 meters, its sandy, clay-limestone marls produce a Barolo of rigor and class, with a "white fire" elegance that reflects its unique subsoil. Replanted in 1988, this vineyard underscores the estate’s longstanding commitment to excellence.

Castelletto

Recently acquired, the 1.07-hectare Castelletto plot in Monforte d'Alba debuted with the 2018 vintage. Facing east-southeast at 270–300 meters, it lies on the "Lequio Formation", with clay-marl and sandy soils similar to those of Serralunga. This cru promises structured, nuanced Barolos with hidden delicacy.

Other Vineyards

Beyond Barolo, 8.17 hectares across Verduno and Roddi are planted with Pelaverga, Barbera, Dolcetto, Nebbiolo, Freisa, and Sauvignon White. Notable sites include Cadìa (2.95 ha, south-facing, Tortonian soils), Castagna (complex geology, Sauvignon and Barbera), Perno (Dolcetto), and L'Urdiä (Barbera and Nebbiolo). These terroirs reflect G.B. Burlotto's dedication to showcasing the diversity of the Langhe.

Winemaking at G.B. Burlotto

G.B. Burlotto’s winemaking philosophy combines tradition with adaptability, favoring the expression of terroir over rigid dogma. Under Fabio Alessandria’s direction, the estate uses sustainable, hands-on vineyard practices: hand harvesting, minimal treatments, and careful pruning to ensure healthy, ripe fruit. Grapes are picked by hand into 20 kg crates to preserve their integrity, with sorting carried out as needed.

In the cellar, simplicity and patience guide the process. The reds ferment in open French oak vats, with Monvigliero retaining whole clusters for up to 60 days of maceration—a nod to historic methods. The other cuvées are gently destemmed and ferment for up to 20 days, with daily pump-overs and punch-downs. Temperature control prevents excessive heat, preserving finesse. After gentle pressing, malolactic fermentation occurs spontaneously in large French or Slavonian oak casks, followed by 20 to 33 months of aging. Bottled unfiltered in summer, the wines rest for another 9 months before release, ensuring harmony and complexity.

This meticulous approach, rooted in classicism, balance, and respect for each vintage, sets G.B. Burlotto apart as a standard-bearer of traditional Piedmontese winemaking.

G.B. Burlotto’s Cuvées

G.B. Burlotto’s Barolo portfolio demonstrates the estate’s mastery of Nebbiolo and its commitment to expressing the Langhe’s unique terroirs. Each cuvée reflects a distinct vineyard identity, crafted with precision to highlight the nuances of its origin. Below are its notable Barolo wines, celebrated for their elegance, structure, and aging potential.

Barolo Monvigliero

From Verduno’s iconic Monvigliero cru, this flagship wine represents a pinnacle of Barolo craftsmanship. It offers captivating aromas of Provençal black olive tapenade, cedar, truffle, and subtle floral notes, unfolding into a lyrical palate marked by refined tannins and a saline finish. Its 60-day whole-cluster maceration, a technique rooted in the estate’s historic practices, draws out unparalleled depth, while extended aging in large French and Slavonian oak casks enhances its complexity. Celebrated worldwide with perfect scores, Barolo Monvigliero embodies the elegance and aromatic finesse that define Verduno’s northernmost terroir, making it essential for collectors and enthusiasts alike.

Barolo Cannubi

From the legendary Cannubi Valletta in the municipality of Barolo, this wine balances power and refinement with a timeless structure that speaks to its centuries-old reputation. Its sandy, clay-limestone soils impart a distinctive "white fire" elegance, revealing warm fruit tones, spice, and a firm yet harmonious backbone. Replanted in 1988, the 0.7-hectare plot benefits from careful winemaking, with gentle destemming and 20 to 36 months in large oak casks, ensuring consistency across vintages. Barolo Cannubi showcases G.B. Burlotto’s ability to honor one of Italy’s most historic crus, offering a wine of rigor, class, and exceptional aging potential.

Barolo Acclivi

A blend of Verduno’s finest crus—Monvigliero, Neirane, Rocche dell'Olmo, and Boscatto—Acclivi is a luminous, graceful Barolo that captures the essence of its terroir with crystalline purity and vibrant energy. Produced only in exceptional years, it reflects a rigorous selection of the best grapes, combining Monvigliero’s floral delicacy with the elegant tannins and subtle warmth of its companion crus. Fermented in open vats and aged in large casks, this wine offers a harmonious profile with lively acidity and a lingering finish. Barolo Acclivi stands as a testament to Verduno’s diversity, offering a refined expression of the region’s northern soul.

Barolo Castelletto

Debuting in 2018 from the Monforte d'Alba cru, Barolo Castelletto introduces a statuesque, mineral profile that bridges the structured intensity of the east with hidden reserves of delicacy. Sourced from a 1.07-hectare plot planted in 1973 on the "Lequio Formation", its clay-marl and sandy soils echo Serralunga’s influence, yielding a wine of depth and finesse. Its east-southeast exposure softens its tannic edge, while 20 to 33 months in large oak casks refine its robust character. This Barolo highlights G.B. Burlotto’s skill in interpreting a more recent acquisition, offering collectors a bold yet nuanced addition to the range.

Barolo D.O.C.G.

A classic blend from Verduno’s Breri, Neirane, Rocche dell'Olmo, and Boscatto vineyards, this Barolo D.O.C.G. offers an understated yet dynamic introduction to the estate’s style. Drawing on grapes from varied exposures and elevations, it weaves together subtle fruit, earthy notes, and balanced structure, immersing enthusiasts in the character of its homeland with quiet persuasion. Fermented with destemmed grapes and aged in large French oak casks, it achieves harmony without ostentation. Approachable yet deeply authentic, Barolo D.O.C.G. is an ideal starting point for those exploring G.B. Burlotto’s traditional Barolo wines.
