About Bianco Luigi & Figlio

Bianco Luigi & Figlio is a family-run wine producer located in the rolling hills of the Piedmont region in northern Italy. Established in 1923 by Luigi Bianco, the estate has remained in the hands of the Bianco family for four generations, with each successor bringing new energy and vision while preserving the traditions that have defined the winery for nearly a century. The estate covers 18 hectares of vineyards, with a focus on indigenous grape varieties such as Nebbiolo, Barbera, and Dolcetto, as well as select international varieties that thrive in the region’s unique microclimate.

Vineyard management at Bianco Luigi & Figlio is rooted in sustainable agriculture. The family employs organic practices, avoids synthetic chemicals, and maintains biodiversity throughout the estate. This commitment to the land is reflected in the health of the vines and the vibrancy of the grapes, which are all hand-harvested to ensure only the best fruit makes it to the cellar. The estate’s location, with its south-facing slopes and mineral-rich soils, provides ideal conditions for producing wines with depth, complexity, and a strong sense of place.

In the cellar, Bianco Luigi & Figlio combines traditional techniques with modern technology. Fermentations are carried out with native yeasts, and the wines are aged in a combination of large Slavonian oak casks and smaller French barrels, depending on the variety and desired style. The family believes in minimal intervention, allowing the character of each vintage to express itself fully. Their flagship Barolo is known for its elegance and longevity, while their Barbera d’Alba offers vibrant fruit and refreshing acidity. Small lots of single-vineyard wines showcase the diversity of the estate’s terroir and have received acclaim from critics and wine lovers alike.

Today, the winery is led by Marco Bianco, Luigi’s great-grandson, who studied enology in Alba before returning to the family estate. Marco has introduced gentle innovations, such as solar-powered energy and precision viticulture, while honoring the winemaking philosophy passed down through generations. Under his guidance, Bianco Luigi & Figlio has expanded its presence in international markets while maintaining a loyal following in Italy. The family’s hospitality is legendary, with a welcoming tasting room and regular events that celebrate local gastronomy and culture.

Bianco Luigi & Figlio’s portfolio includes red, white, and rosé wines, each reflecting the estate’s dedication to quality and authenticity. The wines are marked by purity of fruit, balanced structure, and an unmistakable sense of origin. Whether enjoyed young or after years of cellaring, they offer a window into the landscape and history of Piedmont. The Bianco family’s passion for their craft, respect for tradition, and openness to innovation ensure that Bianco Luigi & Figlio remains a benchmark for excellence in Italian winemaking.
