## About

Giovanni Almondo is a family estate in Montà, in the Roero hills of Piedmont. The Almondo family has been recorded in Montà's civic registry since the 1300s and has always lived in the Vittori hamlet, today at the centre of its Arneis vineyards. Domenico Almondo turned the family's mixed farm toward quality winemaking in 1980, and the estate now farms 23 hectares, worked by the fourth generation, Stefano and Federico. Arneis grows on the sandy, higher north side of Montà, Nebbiolo on the clay and limestone south side, giving site-specific bottlings such as Bricco delle Ciliegie, its single-parcel selection Le Rive, and Bric Valdiana, the only Almondo wine to carry a named vineyard on its label. Several wines, including the Vigne Sparse and Bricco delle Ciliegie Arneis, are certified organic. Roero sits on the left bank of the Tanaro, across from the Langhe, on sandy soils left by an ancient sea, within easy reach of Alba.
