Luigi Baudana Wine Dinner with Ms Eugene Mengyao | 11 Mar Tues
Luigi Baudana is the last scion of one of the oldest wine families of Serralunga d’Alba. His winery has been a secret for many fortunate wine lovers for over thirty years, producing a limited amount of Barolo and other wines. In 2003, Luigi and his wife Fiorina started to look for a future for their estate. Through long-time family friends of Aldo Vajra, they found his son, Giuseppe Vajra. The enthusiasm, energy, and will to preserve the history and prolong the future of this beautiful little jewel was what Luigi was searching for. Giuseppe considers himself il guardiano (the guardian) of this century-long-running winery and started operations with the 2008 vintage in the Baudana cellar. Farming is sustainable and takes advantage of organic and biodynamic practices; no chemical manipulation occurs to the wines. The average production is 300 cases of Barolo DOCG Cerretta and 300 cases of Barolo DOCG Baudana.
