Pecchenino agricultural company was founded at the end of the eighteenth century, has always been family–run, and its estates has been handed down generation after generation.
Documents about it date back to the beginning of the nineteenth century, when the company, run by grandfather Attilio, covered a little more than 8 hectares. Since the 70s, when the company was taken over by Attilio’s son Marino, and after, in 1987, by his sons Orlando and Attilio, new plots of land and vineyards were purchased, forming now a surface of more or less 25 hectares, of which 22 in the Municipality of Dogliani and 3 in the Municipality of Monforte d’Alba. The area of Dogliani is characteristic for the Dolcetto grape variety, whose presence is recorded even in 1432 in a manuscript founded in the municipal archives.
The company is cultived with Dolcetto (70%) and for the rest, with Barbera, Nebbiolo, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc grape varieties. The company, moreover, owns plots of land in the Municipality of Monforte d’Alba, one of the most suited areas for the production of Barolo wine: in the San Giuseppe locality, where the cru “Le Coste” is produced, and in the Bussia locality, where the cru “Bussia Corsini” is going to be produced.
