Ferrando
Luigi Ferrando family wine tradition dates back over 100 years and 5 generations in Canavese, and he’s long been acknowledged as a leading winemaker in Piemonte. Located near the border of the Valle d’Aosta, the winery is known for it steeply terraced, mineral-driven vineyards, which impart a distinctive, irresistible quality to the wines. In fact, Ferrando wines were the first to be imported to the U.S. by famed importer Neal Rosenthal in 1980. His attachment and commitment run deep, and have led him to collaborate with other wine growers and academics, with whom he’s worked to discover and preserve local grape varieties and traditions that might otherwise have been lost, such as Erbaluce. Luigi’s sons, Roberto and Andrea, now work with him on the estate and in the family’s vinoteca located in the heart of the city of Ivrea.
