The Producer

About Ferdinando Principiano

Ferdinando Principiano is the kind of winemaker who doesn’t just farm—he listens. Starting in 1993 with just 7 hectares passed down from his father and grandfather, he’s grown his little corner of Piemonte into a 21-hectare love letter to nature, tradition, and beautifully unfiltered expression. Farming is organic (no certification, no problem), but Ferdinando takes it way further. He’s all about keeping the ecosystem buzzing—literally. He’s bought up nearby forests, dug out a pond below his famed Boscareto cru (shoutout to the migratory birds and frog choir), and keeps things low-tech and high-touch. Think hand-tending with a scythe and low-intervention magic in the cellar.
