Passionate about what they do, Gisella and Pierfranco Baldi work with dedication to produce some of the highest quality wines from the region.
Gisella very kindly took time out from her day to show us around the vineyard, explaining the whole process of viticulture, from grapes on the vine to the bottling of their award winning deep red and white wines.
I know from when I lived in the area the hard work vineyard owners put in. The process starts in January when the vines need pruning. Mostly the weather is still freezing cold and often it is foggy. Walking along the country roads in between the hills at that time of year, you can often hear but not see, the sound of people working in the vineyards. All done by hand, it is not a job for people with little patience.
Gisella and Pierfranco are committed to producing wine to the very high standards they set themselves as Vini Baldi. This was evident from the animated way Gisella spoke about their work.
The pinnacle of the visit was the wine tasting towards the end. It was not like going to the supermarket and picking up any bottle of wine. These wines were special because, not only were they some of the best we had ever tasted, but we now knew the history and people behind them.
