Ferdinando Principiano – Langhe Bianco – 2019

Ferdinando Principiano is a true winemaker! In love with his vineyards, his are genuine and unique wines. The winery is located in Monforte d ‘Alba, in the heart of the Barolo area, and since 1993 with all his passion he decided to take over the family business producing excellent wines, but above all Baroli. After experimenting with the use of barriques and a modernist technique, in the mid-2000s he completely changed style giving priority to the care of the vineyards without the use of herbicides, and even in the cellar the approach began to be traditional and classic: the barriques were replaced with large oak barrels, the pressing is even done with the feet and only indigenous yeasts are used.
As Ferdinando says, his philosophy is not to stress the plant but to accompany and treat it without being too interventionist. His wines are clean, pleasant wines with a great freshness thanks to his style which has now become recognizable and unique!
His interpretations of the Barolos are incredible, a style all his own, where fragrance and drinkability prevail, despite being great structured wines, coming from two fantastic crus: La Ravera di Monforte and Boscareto di Serralunga d’Alba.
His Langhe Bianco comes from a piece of vineyard located in Alta Langa, precisely in Serravalle Langhe, a rather cool and windy area thanks to the important altitude of 700 meters. The grape used for this white is Timorasso, a typical Piedmontese grape but difficult to grow. It is vinified in simple steel, but it is a wine that has a great evolutionary capacity. Aromas of almond and citrus sensations in the mouth with a deep freshness. Not to be underestimated!
