ABOUT THIS WINE
"San Giuseppe" is crafted from 100% Nebbiolo grapes sourced from vineyards in Monforte d'Alba, specifically the San Giuseppe area. The vines are cultivated at an elevation of 400 meters, benefiting from southeast and southwest exposures, and are planted in calcareous clay soils. The wine undergoes fermentation in stainless steel tanks, followed by aging in large oak casks for 24 months, and an additional 12 months in the bottle before release.
ABOUT THIS PRODUCER
The Pecchenino winery has been a family-run enterprise since the end of the 19th century, beginning with just over 8 hectares under the management of grandfather Attilio. In the 1970s, his son Marino took over, and later, at the end of the 1980s, grandsons Orlando and Attilio assumed control. Today, the estate spans approximately 32 hectares, with vineyards in Dogliani and Monforte d'Alba. The Pecchenino family is dedicated to sustainable viticulture and producing wines that reflect the unique terroir of the Langhe region.
