The story
The Lusenti family has cultivated the Casa Piccioni estate for generations: the first property was purchased by the grandparents in the early decades of the 20th century, and the conversion into a winery took place with the next generation. In the 1960s Gaetano expanded vineyard plantings and cultivation. Today the estate is managed by Lodovica, with the assistance of her daughter Martina.
Production philosophy
The winery prioritizes respect for natural cycles, organic farming practices and minimal intervention in the cellar; it highlights local grape varieties and techniques of refermentation and spontaneous fermentation to express the character of the terroir.
