Tasting Notes: The Gaudio Bricco Mondalino Grignolino Del Monferrato Casalese Gaudio comes from the Gaudio’s finest Grignolino vineyard and shows remarkable richness and extract, as well as an intriguingly rustic nuance that makes it very versatile with food. Gaudio means “bliss” while Bricco Mondalino pays tribute to the Mondalino peak (hilltop is bricco or bric in the Piedmont dialect). The Gaudio vineyards cover 18 hectares (44.5 acres), all in elevated, sunny positions on white, calcareous marl terrain, rich in fossils and marine deposits from the Miocene period (60 million years ago). Interestingly, the family still finds fossils as they work in their sustainably cultivated vineyards.
Estate History: The Gaudio family has been making Monferrato wine for three centuries in an area protected by UNESCO, just north of Asti. The winery began bottling its own wine in 1973 under Amilcare Gaudio who later handed the reins to his son Mauro. Today, the winery is run by granddaughter Beatrice who brings a fresh outlook, aiming for elegant wines with great concentration.
