“Maybe I’m only more maniacal than my father,” the young Eugenio Pastoris says, “but I understood from him that nature is something that you can’t completely control. We must work well in every moment of the season, but the most important job is made from the soil, and we can only make mistakes against the harmony of nature.” After years of Latin and Mechanical Engineering studies Eugenio returned to his family’s organic and regenerative farming vineyards. On the eastern end of the Erbaluce di Caluso appellation in Viverone, bordering Alto Piemonte, Pastoris focuses on Nebbiolo and Erbaluce in steel and concrete.
