Just a touch of oak and a lot of complexity for a wine at this price point. Gialdi Vini makes wines under 2 brands, Gialdi and Brivio. Feliciano Gialdi and Guido Brivio as a team grew the company to one of the preeminent winemakers of Ticino, in the southern most canton of Switzerland, entirely south of The Alps. It is bordered by the Swiss cantons of Valais, Uri, and Grisons to the north, and shares international borders with Italy to the west and south. The canton is known for being the only one with Italian as its sole official language.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"MEIVB3A\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003eGialdi Vini SA was founded in 1953 by Guglielmo Gialdi and was initially a wine merchant. In 1984, following the purchase of a wine cellar in the north of Ticino, the company began the production of its own Merlot and since then has expanded in a full range covering all the North. In parallel the Brivio family followed a similar path, from a drinks distributor to wine making, focusing on the South of Ticino. One oenologist, Alfred de Martin, is responsible for both ranges of wines,  each with their very distinctive house styles and regional typicity.  \u003cspan\u003eTraditional vinification with maceration for 10-12 days at 28°C in stainless steel tanks.

On the palate it is fruity and fresh, a well-bodied and pleasant wine. The wine is beautifully polished with complex red berry fruit laced with liquorice and toasted notes. Impeccably balanced on the finish, this is a wonderful alternative to right bank claret.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"accordion-content\" id=\"accordion-content-features\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003eFood match: R\u003c\/span\u003eed meats or cheese boards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Gialdi Vini","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42791149568074,"sku":"S500401231","price":33.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2140\/3211\/files\/bv_rw_baiocco_1.png?v=1764166523"}],"url":"https:\/\/thevineking.com\/collections\/reg-ticino\/bin-end.oembed","provider":"The Vineking","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
