Alberto Giachino and his wines are the culmination of a long family history of winemaking dating back to 1913. At that time his father, Marcello founded the vineyard, located in the town of Roddi in northwest Italy. About elven kilometers from Alba, the property is nestled in the sunny valleys of the Piemonte region famous for it's dry,fertile soil and sunny climate, perfect for the production of grapes.
Of the 13.15 hectares of land which comprise the "azienda" , 9.15 are dedicated to growing of grapes, while on the remainder are grown nocciolo (hazelnuts), or grain, or left to fallow for the next season.
In 1996 Alberto, his brother Bruno and son Piero (who is a enotechnico) took over the production and distribution of the wines. Their production follows the strictest guidelines using no artificial fertilizers or pesticides. With the greatest of care the wines are crafted in the age old tradition of the region,bbringing Dolcetto D'Alba, Barbera D'Alba, Nebbiolo, D'Alba, and Barolo wines of exceptional quality.

Dolcetto d’Alba; Giachino, Alberto
Italian for "little angel" this wine begins slightly sweet with soft, ripe cherries and plums and finishes gracefully with soft, supple tannins.
Serve this alternative to Pinot Noir with game dishes, pork or enjoy it with the memorable pairing of “not too spicy” sausage and peppers!

Barbera d’Alba; Giachino, Alberto
Bright raspberry and cherry flavors explode on the nose, this Barbera is light and refreshingly dry serving up
spicy cherry fruits with a tinge of raspberry and a feints of minerality .
A wonderful summer red wine alternative to beaujolais, served slightly chilled, this Barbera d’Alba is the perfect afternoon picnic wine.

Barbera d'alba; Giachino, Alberto; Palazzoto

Nebiolo d’Alba; Giachino, Alberto
The grape of Barolo and Barbaresco without the price tag, this Nebiolo d’Alba exudes a beautiful bouquet of cherries and kola nuts. The bright expression kola, cherry, with hints of mineral and the tell tale Nebbiolo “Orange Peel” tinge fruit is supported by silky, elegant tannins that fade slowly into a soft, dry finish.
This great grilling wine will handle hearty meat dishes with the plus that Nebbiolo’s refreshing acidity will handle any hearty loin, game, sausage or spicy Italian sauce dish.
