I recently obtained a bottle of wine from my grandmother. The wine is labled as follows.
Barolo
Vendemmia 1984
Gilardino
I have found references to Barolo as a peidmeont producer but I can find nothing on GILARDINO as a style (if it is)
Can anyone help.

Sorry my ignorance is showing.
Barolo is the style
The producer is
G.M.C.
Castelnuovo Belbo
Asti -Italia
Still no idea what GILARDINO is/means.

Gilardino is not ringing any bells and can not find it in any book. Perhaps a propreitary name that they used.

Jason is likely correct, but the G in GMC might be the Gilardino fellow.
