Gialdi SA

Gialdi Vini SA was founded in 1953 by Guglielmo Gialdi, initially as a wine trading company. After purchasing a cellar in northern Ticino, the company began producing its own Merlots in 1984. Today, the company operates between its cellars in Mendrisio and Bodio and processes grapes from northern and southern Ticino. The Gialdi range sources most of its grapes from around one hundred winemakers in the Tre Valli. In the vineyards, sustainable measures are used to prevent erosion, retain water and promote biodiversity. The cellars combine modern production technology with traditional barrique ageing; in 2016, the estate received ISO 22000 certification for food safety and traceability.
