When Giordano took over the reins from his father in 2000, the focus of the family land switched entirely to viticulture, with specific commitment to sustainability and biodynamic practice.

In the cellar, Giordano adopts a low-fi approach to his winemaking with as little manipulation as possible. He keeps the\u003cbr\u003eskins on in the press for one week minimum to add texture to the wine. Additionally, each plot of the vineyard is vinified separately to allow the pure expression of the terroir to shine through. Unusually for Gavi whites, Giordano allows the Cortese to go through malolactic fermentation, due to the very high levels of acidity present in his wines. He has a signature winemaking style, and the resulting wines are always pure, mineral and brimming with energy. Cortese as a variety has historically been overlooked.
