Ferdinando Principiano

Ferdinando Principiano is the Tarzan with noble features from Monforte d'Alba. Born and raised in the family vineyards, at the age of only 45 he already has over 25 harvests on his shoulders and an enormous experience: as a former modernist of Barolo, he is today one of the most solid reference points for reasoned viticulture in the Langa. In his eyes we saw clearly reflected his spirit and the entire range of wines is a succession of strokes to the heart: from the bubbles with the SoloUva Method to the Timorasso grown in Alta Langa and then to all the classic reds of the Langhe, treated with equal dignity from Dolcetto to Barolo.
