Ferdinando Principiano’s cellar is in Barolo sub-zone of Monforte with vineyard holdings in Monforte, Serralunga, and Alta Lange for his Timorasso and the relatively unknown Piedmont grape called Slarina. For the all the moving and shaking in Barolo the last twenty years, it’s worth noting that this southeast part of the Barolo has a palpable quiet and calm, with the nearby small town of Monforte itself as charming as ever.
Spontaneous fermentation for 15-20 days without temperature control, in stainless steel vats. Élevage for 10 months in stainless steel and then in bottle.
