Luigi Baudana is a small estate with just over four hectares of vineyard, all in the commune of Serralunga d‘Alba. Their tiny cellar is situated in the village of Baudana, while their vineyards are primarily in the ‘crus’ of Baudana and Cerretta, lending themselves to wines defined by Serralunga’s characteristic power and structure.
After 30 years of running the winery and without heirs to take over the business, Luigi and Fiorina Baudana made the difficult decision to sell, but wished for the name and estate to continue as is rather than be absorbed into a larger entity.
As part of his research, Luigi visited the Vajra winery incognito one day. He was so impressed with the estate and philosophy that he rang Aldo soon afterwards to ask if he would be interested in buying the estate. A deal was struck, and the Vajra family have run this estate alongside Luigi and Fiorina ever since.
