Burlotto

A historic estate active since the second half of the 19th century on the hills of Verduno, one of the most distinctive municipalities in the Barolo area. After the death of the founder Giovan Battista, the winery passed into the hands of his son Francesco and then to his son Ignazio. Courageous and far-sighted, Ignazio found himself having to carry on the company alone during the hardest period, that of the war. He was also the only one left to make monovarietal Pelaverga grapes, growing them himself and buying small quantities from neighbouring farmers. If Verduno Pelaverga still exists, and is the shining jewel that it is, it is due in no small part to Ignazio Burlotto, who passed away in 1968, the year the winery passed to his daughter. Marina and her husband and children therefore represent the fourth and fifth generations at the helm of the company, which today continues to produce the classic wines of the Langa of Alba. Name and address of producer/distributor: Comm. G.B. Burlotto, via Vittorio Emanuele II, 28, 12060 Verduno CN. Products should be stored in a cool, dry place away from heat sources.
