Gialdi Vini

Guglielmo Gialdi founded the Gialdi Vini company in 1953, in the southern region of Switzerland starting off as a wine merchant. In the 1980s Gialdi’s son, Feliciano inherited the business. During this time, he carried out major renovations and expansions, he acquired a winery found in the Bassa Leventina and began producing wine. Since then the winery has grown tremendously, with two cellars, one in Mendrisio and one in Bodio. The Gialdi family looks over these two companies, as well as, Guido Brivio’s estate called Brivio (since 2001) and Zamberlani (since 2006). Vinifying close to one million kilograms of grapes a year, the Gialdi estate produces wine from the Sopraceneri area, while Brivio occupies fruit coming from the Sottoceneri region. Upon the union of these two important Ticinese names, Gialdi and Brivio, they launched their production with the slogan “United we stand”. This gave way to their huge success in today’s wine market. Their commitment to producing only the finest terroir wines has built quite a favorable reputation for this partnership. The estate even uses its prime real-estate of Monte Generoso – utilizing the cool mountain air-currents to circulate and regulate the temperature in their cellars.
