Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We were visiting the area and wanted to try some Barbaresco wines. Most of the places we saw were closed at the time, but Gigi Bianco’s was open. The tastings were free as long as you purchased some wine (which wasn’t hard). We all went away with a few bottles to take back to Canada. They wrapped and boxed them up very well for the journey.
Thank you for putting some sunshine into our wet cold day in Barbaresco.

We wouldnt come to Piemonte and not visit Susanna to hear about and taste the latest production. In her voice you hear the passion for delivering high quality at fair prices. Wines sold by recommandation.

We were just walking by when an elderly gentleman asked us to taste the wines. He and his wife were passionate about their wines and we understand why. A small company producing a small quantity of wine of highest quality. Far from big business, more like slow-wine. Well worth a visit, not cheap but great!

The wine tasting was a bit of a novelty as it was in an old church. It was interesting to see inside the old church and the wine we tasted needed a few years to mature.

I am glad to provide travelers with a review about Azienda Agricola Gigi Bianco since I do believe it represents magnificently the spirit of Italian wine entrepreneurs as well as the identity of the local terroir.

Besides being surrounded by fence-free wineyards, Barbaresco is plenty of expert winemakers who enthusiastically open their cellar to visitors. Among them, there is Azienda Agricola Gigi Bianco where I had a unique experience for the following reasons.

Firstly, the high quality of the wine.
The grapes are very ancient as well as organically treated. Moreover, to offer wine lovers the original flavour of Barbaresco, the wine is aged in big casks which enhance the feature of the terroir without altering it.

Secondly, the family's welcoming approach. When inside, indeed, it won't take too long to realise how glorious your testing wine experience will be. Maria Vittoria, Susanna and Salvatore (respectively mother, daughter and boyfriend of the latter) have cruised me through the Barbaresco enology traditions, pouring wine and sharing their business roots. We tested 10 different bottles, from the classic Dolcetto D'Alba to the awarded Barbaresco, and all of them were remarkable (even if the former is not my favourite variety of grapes).

Finally, the price which is competitive for the quality you get. Personally, I bought a magnum of Barbaresco Ocello 2012 for 58€.

To sum up, visiting wine cellars in Piemonte, especially in Barbaresco, is definitely a "do" and stopping at Azienda Agricola Gigi Bianco would give you a proper bite of passionate Italian winemakers.

We did not have a reservation, but stumbled upon this glorious little Azienda in the Barbaresco town center and were treated to tastings of at least seven different wines, many of which were notable.

This is a VERY small wine producer, with only c. 18,000 bottles annually. As fate would have it, the only store in the US that sells their wine is near us in NYC, so I'd had a bottle of their 2011 Barbaresco from the Ovello cru before, nearly 12 months ago. At that time, it remained pretty closed and not ready to drink. What a difference a year makes: the same vintage is drinking much less nervously now, and is opening itself up to welcome complexity. The 2011 Pora Riserva (their first ever Reserve production, I believe) is even better.

Salvatore spent nearly two hours with us, talking about the family and winery's history. We also met and spoke with Susanna and her mother -- all amazing, generous people, who at times seemed to vibrate with passion for their craft.

We were invited back the next day for a tour of their cellars. The classic wine cellar smell (a mix of wine, humidity and -- yes -- mold) was one I'd heard about but never actually experienced, and it was actually wonderful. We ended up leaving with two bottles of their wine and a promise to return!

wonderful wine Barbaresco Reserva 2011 from a small producer with high quality wines made in the most ecological way. A must to visit if you are in the area. Sussana will delight you with the story of the family

Susanna and her family runs this small winery with passion and tradition. We have been given the guided tour and wine tasting. The tour is interresting and wines are elegant and fruity. Not possible to leave without bringing some wine. No doubt we will be back.
