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. Fermentation for 14 days in stainless steel vats; elevage for 6-8 months in stainless steel.

Tasting Note

Principiano’s is aromatics-forward, with a lovely open-knit nose of flowers, red fruits, and peach.
