About the Winery
The history of the Poderi Luigi Einaudi started in 1897, when Luigi Einaudi, still only 23 years old, acquired the farmhouse "San Giacomo" in the burgh of Dogliani, a noble eighteenth-century building with a chapel in ruins and 40 Piedmontese giornate of vineyard (40 acres). Under the enlightened leadership of the Senator Luigi Einaudi, the Poderi Einaudi began bottling of the Dolcetto and the sale of this wine outside the regional borders where it was relegated.
The 'Professor', as was affectionately called in Dogliani, he never neglected his vineyards despite numerous professional commitments and the onerous task of President of the Republic.

The Einaudi family has inherited the passion of the founder and continued to improve the vineyards and the technical procedure for to obtain the highest quality of grapes, an indispensable condition to get great wines. The work takes place into the cellar, located in the Tecc propriety, completely underground to reduce the environmental impact and ensure a constant temperature and humidity.
