What it is

Intonachino is a finer-grained lime stucco originating from central Italy. The finish coat uses a smaller aggregate and is hand-troweled in tight passes, producing a surface that catches light differently from conventional stucco — softer, with a slight cloud of variation.

We use intonachino on residences where the architectural detailing — moulding, columns, balustrades — wants to read as cleanly as the field. The finer aggregate keeps profiles crisp.
