The story
A family-run estate rooted in the Langhe. Management passed to Ferdinando Principiano in the 1990s, when the estate began bottling its own wines. Over time, operations have shifted toward less invasive agronomic practices and a greater focus on expressing the terroir.
Production philosophy
Respect for the land and minimal intervention in the vineyard and cellar; agronomic choices favoring biological and organic practices and low‑intervention winemaking to highlight the personality of each cru.
Terroir and vineyards
Langhe with vineyards in classic Barolo areas and in the surrounding hills; references to individual crus and to territories such as Serralunga/Monforte and Alta Langa appear in the product sheets.
