“I was not born a winemaker but by choice, it became my life. From the frenetic modern times that I grew up in, I learned how important it is for a winemaker to slow down, to observe nature in all its surroundings.

A holistic winemaker sees the vineyard as a small part of a bigger ecosystem where every element lives in symbiosis and harmony with each other. I chose Pozzol Groppo, a small village in the Tortonese hills, because it is situated in a rare context with no contamination. That allows me to take care of all the elements that go into the ecosystem: not only the flora and the fauna but also the air, land and water, while respecting the biodiversity.

A winemaker should wait for the exact moment to pick the fruit, crush it and then decide when and how to transform the grape must into wine. Fundamental is to observe the evolution of the wine in its long aging process, until it really becomes a wine that identify completely I Carpini, and at that point it is the wine itself that ask me to get bottled, to leave the places where it was born and aged, to meet the rest of the world.
