Founded at the end of the nineteenth century, in an area where Dolcetto vineyards have been a typical feature for centuries, the Pecchenino farm has always been family run, and the land has passed from father to son throughout its history. From the beginning of the twentieth century, the farm was led by Attilio Pecchenino (the grandfather). In the 70s, the farm was given to Marino Pecchenino (Attilio’s son), and in 1987 to Orlando and Attilio (Marino’s two sons) who currently own it and manage it.

After having worked long and hard to promote the Dolcetto variety and Dogliani wines, brothers Attilio and Orlando have also realized their dream of making Barolo. In 2004 they were able to lease part of Le Coste vineyard in Monforte d’Alba. Their Barolo Le Coste 2004 was released in the US in the spring of 2008.

    I am interested in this experience for myself and my girlfriend, whose birthday it is. I was hoping you could give me some idea about how much the dinner will cost. Thank you, look forward to hearing back from you!
