Pecchenino dates from the late 18th century when the Pecchenino family were well-established farmers in the Commune of Dogliani. By the early 20th century the Pecchenino family owned 20 acres and today brothers Orlando and Atillio Pecchenino manage 65 vineyard acres. Some 70% of the vineyards are planted to Dolcetto, with the remainder planted to Barbera, Nebbiolo, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. Pecchenino also has vineyards in Monforte d’Alba, a prime area for the production of Barolo. About 110,000 bottles are produced annually. Gambero Rosso has called Pecchenino “a winery that helped write the history of Dolcetto, giving a new image to a grape variety that was often wrongly ignored.” Wine Advocate has written that “Pecchenino makes some of the most food-friendly wines in Italy today... (It) also makes two top-shelf expressions of Nebbiolo.”
