Vineyard
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.
Vinification
Spontaneous fermentation with ambient yeast. The grapes are fermented in steel, with maceration on skins for 25-30 days; two years in large wood botti (from 2000 to 3000 liters); one year in bottle prior to release.
