If you aren't familiar with Giamello you are not alone. This tiny estate has generally flown under the radar, despite working with famed importer Kermit Lynch for some years now. Mostly this is due to size. They farm under 5 hectares of grapes, making on average just 850 cases each year. And though the family farm goes back over a century, they have only been producing wine commercially for a few decades.

But the quality of their wine is excellent, especially given the humble roots. All farming here is completely natural, without the use of pesticides, herbicides or chemicals of any kind. And they take a similar approach in the cellar. Only native yeast fermentations and the aging is done in tanks and large, neutral barrels.
