GABRIELE
SCAGLIONE
Classic Langhe with a big bow to Mother nature-
In the picturesque Langhe and Roero regions, Gabriele Scaglione’s vineyards sprawl across ideal locations, nurturing a diverse array of indigenous varietals. From the delicate nuances of Moscato and Arneis to the robust character of Nebbiolo and Barbera, his vineyards are a testament to his unwavering commitment to terroir and climate. Amidst these rolling hills, a touch of Pinot Nero and Chardonnay adds a delightful contrast.
A deep-seated passion for wine, art, and gastronomy draws Gabriele back to his family's ancestral home, where he lovingly tends to his vineyards and curates exceptional wines for the global stage. He embraces winemaking as a personal odyssey, a journey that began later in life, one that preceded the allure of corporate success to realize a more authentic calling steeped in dedication and ardor. Through meticulous attention to every detail, from nurturing the land to basking in the sun's embrace, he crafts wines of exceptional quality.
Embracing organic and sustainable practices, Gabriele minimizes the use of synthetic pesticides, allowing the unique terroir to infuse his wines with enchanting aromas and flavors that entice and resonate deeply. Each sip is a testament to his steadfast devotion, encapsulating the heart and soul of his labor of love. And amidst the symphony of his wines, a playful, spirited allure beckons one and all, inviting a delightful, unforgettable journey with every bottle.

Barbera d'Alba DOC

Remember — what the dormouse said…
Gabriele's labels convey the playfulness of his wines. When asked how he came up with the packaging for his Barbera, he referenced the white rabbit from Alice in Wonderland and pensively continued, "...so why not four?"
A convivial young wine, I Quattro Conigli Bianchi shows ripe plum and forest fruits with a soft breadth in the mouth. Supple and fragrant, this Barbera offers an intriguing ripeness on the palate and dryness in the finish, appealing to both serious and whimsical desires.
