Filippo Gallino

We are in the heart of the Roero, where sandy soils and steep slopes are not just part of the landscape, but the secret behind every wine. This is where Filippo Gallino winery operates, perfectly embodying the authentic and straightforward soul of a less “austere” and far more convivial Piedmont. The story of Filippo Gallino winery began long before Roero became a fashionable destination for wine lovers. We are in Canale, one of the historic capitals of this territory, where the Gallino family has cultivated vineyards for generations. In the 1970s, Filippo made a decisive move: he stopped selling bulk grapes and began bottling his own dream. Today, that same passion is proudly carried on by his son Gianni and his family. Filippo was one of the pioneers who believed in Arneis when the grape risked disappearing altogether. The winery also grows Nebbiolo which, in the hands of the Gallino family, loses the sometimes challenging rigidity of youth, becoming a silky wine scented with violets and small red berries.
