NATURAL WINES BY FERDINANDO PRINCIPIANO
Ferdinando Principiano is based in Monforte d'Alba in the Barolo zone of Piedmont. His family has grown vines in the Langhe since the mid-1700s, and he set up his own estate in 1993 on land he inherited. He works 21 hectares across Monforte d'Alba and Serralunga d'Alba. That includes six hectares of Boscareto in Serralunga, on harder limestone-rich Tortonian soils, and 1.4 hectares of Ravera in Monforte, on heavy Helvetian clay.
Fermentations start on their own in stainless steel, and no sulphur goes in from harvest until malolactic is finished. The Nebbiolo then ages in large Slavonian oak botti, and the Barolo comes from Boscareto and Ravera. Alongside Barolo and Langhe Nebbiolo he makes Barbera, Freisa and rarities like Timorasso and Slarina. Dosset is his Dolcetto with no added sulphur, light and juicy.
