Description
From the importer:
Ferdinando Principiano is producing world-class elegant and natural wines, with a watermark of traditional Barolo terroir. Ferdinando started in 1993, with 7 hectares from his father and grandfather; he now owns and farms 21 hectares. All
farming is uncertified organic, but he goes way beyond the normal
organic practices and is obsessed with preserving or creating the
conditions for biodiversity in and around his vineyards. This
includes buying adjacent forests, and creating a pond at the base
of his Boscareto cru that acts as a home for migratory birds, and a
chorus of frogs. He works the vineyards by hand, including the use
of a scythe, as we’ll see described below in a moment. All cellar
work is low intervention.
