For many years, Pieropan has been regarded as a benchmark winery in the wine world, epitomizing the ultimate quality of their prestigious appellation. Owners Nino and Teresita Pieropan uphold the highest standards of craftsmanship, driven by their passionate expertise and genuine love for their craft. Their deep commitment to the terroir and traditions of Valpolicella is not just a family heritage; it is the guiding philosophy behind their operations.
Since its founding in 1890, the Pieropan family estate has seen contributions from four generations, each adding their unique perspectives, knowledge, and entrepreneurial spirit to the winery. The journey of viticulture and vinification began with Leonildo, a doctor in the small town of Soave, who, motivated by his background in biology and chemistry, began tending to the family vineyards and cellars.
His sons, Fausto and Gustavo, carried on this legacy with great passion, but the true turning point for the estate came with Leonildo’s grandson. With a strong sense of vocation, he established his own distinctive style, emphasising the vine’s central role, an unwavering pursuit of quality, and innovative winemaking techniques—hallmarks of the Pieropan identity that continue to define the winery today.
