Broglia Description

RVWC

La Meirana was purchased in 1972 by Grand Officer Bruno Broglia, a textile entrepreneur, from Count Edilio Raggio. Prior to purchasing La Meirana, Bruno Broglia had renovated a villa in Gavi as a holiday home in the countryside. The works had been commissioned to the best architects of the time. Gigi Vietti managed the interiors, precisely in those years when he was designing what would later become Costa Smeralda; Pietro Porcinai, internationally acclaimed landscape artist, designed the garden which faces onto the medieval town of Gavi, with a unique view over the territory, and a vineyard within the wall that gives its name to Gavi del comune di Gavi Villa Broglia. Having terminated the works on the house, work began on the grounds to make them suitable for vineyard growing and to improve the land.

In 1974 the property was rented to the son Piero. In the same year Gavi was granted the DOC denomination and the first wine was bottled. Following the death of Bruno Broglia the new cellar was built, in 1983, according to a project of Vietti and the area of vine cultivated land was increased. The working relationship with Prof. Lanati, member of Oiv (The International Vine and Wine Organisation) began immediately and, with the advice of Prof. Eynard, the traditional Guyout training method was retained. Research into new clones was carried out in the countryside, with the University of Turin and vinification experiments were performed in the cellar in the absence of sulphur with Prof. Scienza from the University of Milan. In the late 90s the success of Gavi on international markets imposed the need to double cellar space and complete the planting of vineyards to cover the current 64 hectares out of the 100 hectares of property. Today, the age-old name of Meirana is managed by the third generation of the Broglia Family with Bruno, Paolo's son who, in addition to managing the textile business, has always followed the development of La Meirana, and by Roberto, Piero's son who, as a member of Parliament in the 11th legislature, participated in the works of the Agricultural Commission of the Chamber of Deputies and is now currently serving his second term as President of the Gavi Protection Consortium.
