Producer Le Piane

PIEDMONT

Le Piane is the dream of Christoph Kuenzli and his friend Alexander Trolf who in the early nineties visited this region, the upper Piedmont, several times, falling in love with its beauty. Over time they have had the good fortune to meet Antonio Cerri, one of the last producers of those years, who convinced them to continue his adventure. They bought from him the nucleus of "Le Piane" and continued over time to buy many small plots of wood to then form blocks of vineyards of at least one and a half hectares in the best positions of the Boca DOC appellation. Among the rows, in addition to Nebbiolo, here called Spanna, there are other indigenous varieties such as vespolina and Croatina. The vineyards are located on soils rich in gravel on the surface and enjoy a particularly favorable microclimate for the cultivation of the vine. In the vineyard, only copper and sulfur are used, with organic pesticides such as algae and mycorrhizae, while in the cellar the fermentations are spontaneous, thanks to the action of indigenous yeasts. with the main objective of enhancing and enhancing all that the season and the territory have been able to tell in the fruit. The result is wines that are balanced, of great potential and identity of the terroir of origin which, season after season, regularly attest to high quality standards.
