Ferdinando Principiano’s family has been farming in the Langhe regions for generations. Unlike much of the rest of Barolo, Ferdinando’s vineyards appear a little less industrious and a little more idyllic. There is a small patch of woodland from which you can hear birds , between the rows clover and wildflowers grow and are crawling with bees and insects. 

Looking at the incredible and perfectly pieced together puzzle of Barolo vineyards, very few stand out with natural flora and fauna, as the land is too valuable to take ‘risks’ with Organic farming. The vines of Principiano are one of the few and extraordinary exceptions.
