DIEGO PRESSENDA
PIEDMONTE, ITALY
Diego Pressenda Winery is a family-run business that is located about 4 km from the centre of Monforte d'Alba, at the heart of the Barolo wine production area. The positioning of the winery allows for a wide view of the hills of vineyards and the famous crus of Monforte d'Alba, Castiglione Falletto, and Serralunga d’Alba.
Diego began his career as a winemaker at the age of 18, and over the years, he started buying properties and expanding the winery. Today, the winery is run by Diego and his children and son-in-law, who bring new ideas and a fresh perspective to the family business.
"I was taught to respect the rhythms of nature and the earth that nourishes us with its fruits: each year we hope that either the wheat harvest and the harvest of grapes would go well. Dedication, sacrifice and long waiting: that is how I learned to love my land." -Diego Pressenda
