The NV Extra-Brut Cuvée No. 744 is soft, open-knit and caressing. The natural radiance of the vintage comes through in the wine's ample, creamy feel. Apricot, spice, dried flowers, hazelnut and lightly honeyed notes are all beautifully laced together.

For the 2018 harvest in Aÿ, Dizy, Hautvillers (68%), Avize and Oiry (32%), the previous winter was exceptionally rainy, this was followed by a mild, stormy spring. The weather changed from June onwards, becoming fine and dry, resulting in a particularly early harvest: we started picking on 30 August and finished on 11 September. The vines were in perfect...

A wonderful champagne, 100% Chardonnay of Avize from vineyards more than 60 years old. A base of citrus fruit melted with the scent, and taste, of a custard where there are also two drops of lemon juice. Delicious and enjoyable.
Producer: Jacquesson
2017, the harvest from Ay, Dizy, Hautvillers (66%) Avize and Oiry (34%). Winter and Spring were exceptionally dry; the beginning of Spring was mild but, in April, destructive frosts ravaged the vineyards, especially in the Côte des Blancs. Temperatures then rose and the weather was good until July. The end of the growing season was hot but very wet. The...

The Champagne Rosè Oeil de Pedrix is the result of an assemblage of Meunier and Chardonnay from old vineyards. Flowery Champagne Rosè Extra Brut, particularly fine and fresh with a very limited production.
Producer: Podere Poggio Scalette
The 2021 Il Carbonaione is a regal, elegant wine. Silky, beautifully perfumed and persistent, the 2021 is everything I want from Il Carbonaione. All the purity of Sangiovese caresses the senses in a wine that is both textually intense and also light on its feet. Dark red-toned fruit, rose petals, cinnamon, new leather and cedar are some of the many...

Ferdinando Principiano emerges as a vintner of authenticity, passion, and audacity, deeply enamored with his native soil, the Langhe. He assumed control of the family winery in 1993, brimming with enthusiasm and freshly armed with an oenology diploma, ready to make his mark on the international stage. However, in a pivotal shift in 2003, he embraced a production philosophy grounded in purity and tradition. In a radical transformation sells the barriques, opts for large oak barrels from Slavonia, eliminates all synthetic products, and abandons the use of sulfur dioxide.
Since then the production of Principiano's winery stands out for its proudly artisanal temperament and a distinctive style, enjoying a substantial vineyard heritage, boasting prestigious crus in the Barolo territory such as Ravera in Monforte, Boscareto, Pian Romualda, and others.
These wines are not just products; they are the embodiment of hands-on craftsmanship and passion, drawing inspiration from the timeless tradition of the Langhe.
There are 16 products.

The 2019 Barolo Boscareto is one of the most beautiful, expressive wines I have tasted from Ferdinando Principiano. Bright acids and veins of tannin shape this aromatic, nervy Barolo. There's more than enough depth to play off the wine's youthful austerity. Orange peel, sage, mint, tobacco, cedar and crushed red berry fruit fill out the layers. What a...

The 2019 Barolo Ravera di Monforte is a wild, exotic wine. Iron, game, chalk, white pepper, incense, dried herbs and macerated cherry give the Ravera tons of aromatic and flavour complexity.
Producer: Ferdinando Principiano
The 2020 Barolo Ravera di Monforte is a powerful, beguiling wine. Black cherry, lavender, spice, menthol, licorice and scorched earth confer somber intensity that is matched by the wine's depth and tannic heft. This wild, savory Barolo is going to need a few years to come into its own.
