ABOUT THE PRODUCER

Eugenio Bocchino and Cinzia Pelazza cultivate around five hectares of vineyards in La Morra, right in the heart of the Barolo country. Their wines are produced through natural and biodynamic practices.

Eugenio is old school in his winemaking and believes that wines should reflect good soils and pristine grapes rather than what happens in the cellar. The result is wines that are open and approachable, emphasising purity and elegance, with beautifully managed tannins.
