The experience of five generations in rice cultivation has paid off in the “Grange” area (surrounding agricultural land of Vercelli), where the Perinotti family has dedicated its efforts to improving farming conditions in our estate, the Tenuta Pracantone.
Investing in quality, experimenting and adopting agricultural methods with minimal environmental impact, whilst rediscovering the most traditional and valuable varieties of this precious cereal crop seemed the perfect and only choice.
The introduction of a less aggressive form of agriculture allowed the endangered Grey Herons (Aironi Cenerini) to repopulate the paddies. And it’s precisely to those majestic birds that Michele Perinotti chose to dedicate Risi&co, the company he leads with enthusiasm and passion, and where he carries out continuous research in order to keep bringing the perfect risotto and all its many interpretations, with rice at the heart of everything.
