Poderi Luigi Einaudi: Matteo Sardagna Einaudi and Zvonimir Jurkovic, a journey that began in 2016 and continues today with the appointment of Jurcovic as CEO.
The renewal process of Poderi Luigi Einaudi has its roots in 2016, the year in which Matteo Sardagna Einaudi , President of the company, embarked on a journey of profound awareness and enthusiasm, appointing the “master of the vine” Zvonimir Jurkovic , known to all as “Zvone”, as his trusted man and cellar manager.
What began as a collaboration based on shared ideas and production sensibilities has evolved over the years into a true strategic alliance, founded on trust, constant dialogue, and a shared passion for wine and the Langhe.
A journey of growth and sharing that has profoundly enriched the identity of Einaudi wines. The harmony between Matteo Sardagna Einaudi and Zvonimir Jurkovic and their differing sensibilities has given rise to an ongoing dialogue, where wine becomes a language and a tool for discussion, an authentic expression of a shared vision. Harvest after harvest, this dialogue translates into wines that express the place with purity and depth, without artifice, enhancing the personality of each cru and its natural elegance.
” I’ve always wanted our wines to directly reflect my vision and experience, but also for them to grow through open and ongoing dialogue. Since 2016, with Zvone, this journey has become concrete, leading us to a new milestone ,” says Matteo Sardagna Einaudi.
This journey, the fruit of a long-term strategic vision, combines, on the one hand, the sensitivity and ability to create important Crus, and, on the other, the expansion of its viticultural heritage in the most renowned areas of the Langhe, seeking increasingly refined grape quality and a greater expression of the territory in its various labels.
Thanks to significant investments— from 47.18 hectares in 2010 to the current 56.08, of which 13.96 are dedicated to Barolo —Poderi Luigi Einaudi is now recognized as one of the most authoritative producers of Barolo, with wines capable of combining depth, elegance, and extraordinary longevity, fully respecting tradition and the unique character of each cru.
