Gemma

1978

Gemma’s story began when its founder and owner, Silvano Piacentini, opened a new winery in the commune of Serralunga d’Alba. It was set up near the medieval castle in an old winemaking facility that had previously belonged to the Marquises of Falletti. Piacentini restored the historic cellars and equipped them with modern technology.

A new winery building opened, bringing the entire winemaking process—from fermentation to bottling—under one roof.

Today

The second generation of the Piacentini family is taking over the management of the company. Silvano’s son, Luigi, is responsible for marketing and the business side of the winery.

Gemma is located in the commune of Serralunga d'Alba, near the medieval castle, in the Langhe region.
