Ferdinando Principiano – Barolo Boscareto – 2016

Barolo Boscareto is the wine that best represents Principiano’s style and philosophy! A vineyard more than 40 years old, located at the edge of the Barolo appellation, in the extreme south of Serralunga d’Alba with soils rich in limestone and rock, resulting in super complex, hard and austere Barolos. For this wine, Principiano even does the crushing with his feet and ages for 36 months in large oak barrels. A majestic wine! Herbaceous and cherry aromas, harmonious and persuasive wine with austere tannins. Very pleasant to drink, but to absolutely enjoy over time!

Description

Ferdinando Principiano is a real winemaker! Very fond of his vineyards, his wines are genuine and unique. The winery is located in Monforte d’Alba, in the heart of the Barolo area, and in 1993 with all his passion he decided to take over the family business producing excellent wines, but most of all Baroli. After experimenting with the use of barriques and a modernist technique, since the mid 2000’s he completely changed his style by giving priority to the care of the vineyards without using herbicides, and even in the winery the approach started to be traditional and classic: barriques were replaced by big oak barrels, pressing is even done with feet and only indigenous yeasts are used.
As Ferdinando says, his philosophy is not to stress the plant but to accompany and take care of it without being too much interventionist. His wines are clean, pleasing with a great freshness thanks to his style which has become recognizable and unique!
His interpretations of Barolo are incredible, a style all his own, where fragrance and drinkability prevail, despite they are great structured wines, coming from two fantastic cru: La Ravera di Monforte and Boscareto di Serralunga d’Alba.
