About the producer
Piercarlo
Culasso's
passion
for
winemaking
stems
from
his
family's
legacy,
passed
down
through
generations.
Inheriting
the
Faset
Cru
vineyard
in
Barbaresco
from
his
grandfather
Modesto
and
father
Dante,
Piercarlo
spent
years
meticulously
caring
for
the
vines,
though
initially
selling
the
grapes
to
other
prestigious
cellars.
In
2017,
with
the
support
of
his
family,
he
established
the
Piercarlo
Culasso
Winery
and
produced
his
first
vintage
of
Barbaresco.
Piercarlo
and
his
children
Martina,
Michela,
and
Marco
oversee
every
aspect
of
production,
from
vineyard
work
to
cellar
management.
Their
goal
is
simple:
to
minimize
intervention
and
let
the
terroir
speak
for
itself.
