Broccardo | A Legacy of Passion e Tradition
Three siblings: Filippo, Laura, and Federica Broccardo, have turned their family’s heritage into a thriving winery. Their story is one of respect for the land, relentless dedication, and a commitment to producing authentic Langhe wines.
In the 1970s, the family primarily grew and sold grapes, making wine only for close friends. Over time, their passion led them to focus on crafting high-quality wines, exclusively from native grape varieties.
At Broccardo, winemaking philosophy is about purity and authenticity. They preserve the natural fruit character of each grape, avoiding unnecessary interventions. This approach ensures that every bottle reflects the unique essence of the Langhe region.
Since 2014, Broccardo has been part of the UNESCO-listed Langhe area, a recognition of its historical and cultural significance in winemaking.
Their philosophy blends tradition with innovation, keeping alive the timeless techniques passed down through generations while embracing modern advancements. The result? Wines that tell the story of the land and the people who nurture it.
Arneis
Grown throughout the Langhe, the grape’s spiritual home is Roero. Locals used to call the grape “white Nebbiolo”.
Almost extinct by the 1960s, Arneis is difficult to cultivate and ferment. It has a bad reputation amongst farmers for being low yielding and susceptible to powdery mildew. It’s not surprising that the word Arneis, in the local dialect means “little rascal”.
It was either vinified sweet, enjoyed as table grapes, or if amounts were insignificant, it was presumably added to red wine production.
Langhe Arneis must be a minimum of 85% Arneis. Roero Arneis has to be at least 95%, though most producers use 100%.
