Poderi Luigi Einaudi holds a unique place in Italian history, founded in 1897 by the man who would eventually become the first President of the Italian Republic. Located in Dogliani, the estate was born from Einaudi’s deep passion for his native land, a commitment that has seen the winery remain in the family for four generations. While originally famous for its exceptional Dolcetto, the house has expanded its prestige through the strategic acquisition of prime Barolo crus, including prized parcels in Cannubi, Terlo, and Bussia. The winery is celebrated for its traditionalist yet evolving style, utilizing gravity-fed cellars and a mix of large Slavonian oak and French barrels to produce wines of immense structural integrity and elegance. Today, under the leadership of the founder’s great-grandson, Matteo Sardagna, the estate continues to be a standard-bearer for the Langhe, blending a statesman’s sense of heritage with modern viticultural excellence.

Adding the Einaudi Bussia 2018 to your collection secures a piece of Italian history from a winery founded by the second President of the Italian Republic. This specific bottling is highly valued for its exceptional balance and aging potential, frequently earning high scores from critics like James Suckling (93 points) and Antonio Galloni (94 points). Its limited annual production and origin in one of Barolo's most revered crus make it a stable investment piece that will gain complexity and secondary markers like truffle and tar over the next 20 to 30 years.
