Quazzolo

If you thought the Langhe was all about medieval villages and farmers, well you are mostly right, but when it comes to the winemaking scene, there’s always a lot more to discover.

Last month I drove to Barbaresco to meet Danilo Quazzolo, a young winemaker based quite literally on the Ovello cru, who recently took over his family business.

Harley parked outside, DOCG tattooed on his knuckles, artwork painted all over the cellar. First topic of the chat: crypto and NFTs, definitely not what you would expect from a wine conversation.

I was pleasantly surprised to learn about his story and look forward to tasting his wines (we always taste them blind after our visit).

What was Danilo profession before he started making wine?
