While
Giovanni
had
primarily
focused
on
grape
sales,
Giuliano
was
determined
to
transition
to
producing
and
bottling
his
own
wine.
Embracing
the
innovations
and
techniques
of
the
Barolo
revolution,
it
has
taken
Giuliano
numerous
vintages
to
refine
his
approach
and
truly
capture
the
distinctiveness
of
Nebbiolo
from
his
esteemed
vineyard
sites.
