Since the 2003 vintage, the estate has been certified organic. The 74 hectare estate, which covers the revered Monti subzone, was purchased in 1846 and has been passed down through six generations of the Stucchi Prinetti family. Currently the estate is run by the present generation, siblings Emanuela, Guido, Paolo and winemaker Roberto.
