The Giribaldi Legacy
Agricola Mario Giribaldi’s story began in the early 1900s during a time when agriculture was both a way of life and a symbol of resilience. For the Giribaldi family, winemaking was not just about producing wine; it was about creating a legacy. Over the years, the family’s passion and determination have remained steadfast. Today, the estate is run by a dedicated team of ten, all driven by the same spirit of devotion and pride that has defined the Giribaldi name for generations.
Pioneering Organic Winemaking
In 2001, Agricola Mario Giribaldi took a bold step by transitioning to organic grape growing, a move that earned them certification in 2004. This commitment to sustainability has become a cornerstone of their philosophy. By working in harmony with nature, the estate ensures that each vintage reflects the authenticity and purity of the Langhe region. Their organic practices, combined with meticulous care in the vineyard and cellar, result in wines that truly embody the spirit of Piemonte.

Agricola Mario Giribaldi produces a stunning range of wines that showcase the diversity and elegance of the Langhe terroir. Their Barolo is a masterpiece, offering power and depth with every sip.

Each wine is a testament to the land and the family’s dedication to their craft.
