PIEROPAN
(Cantina in Soave)

The Pieropan winery was founded in 1880 by Leonildo Pieropan and it achieved national and international success between the 1970s and 1980s thanks to his grandson namesake Leonildo, ''the Soave Classico Pioneer''. Today the winery is led by the family’s 4th generation: Andrea and Dario who are sons of Leonildo and his wife Teresita.       With an extension of 75 hectares, 55 in the Soave territory and 20 in Valpolicella, the company produces about 750.000-800.000 bottles per year of which about 65% is exported to 70 countries worldwide.     Pieropan’s wines are produced in three locations:          - The historic winery inside Palazzo Pullici Pieropan in the heart of Soave, where all stages of production have been carried out until 2018, now dedicated to the drying of grapes;       - The Valpolicella winery of Villa Cipolla Pieropan in Tregnago, dedicated to red wines production; - Finally, as the operating heart, the brand-new underground winery dedicated to Leonildo Pieropan. This is a modern, functional and innovative building that covers about 10.000 square meters of land,  located on the slopes of a large hilly amphitheater, in Soave, in the historical area for winegrowing, at the center of Pieropan’s production areas. Thanks to the choice of an underground construction, the sustainable project gave birth to an architecture strongly integrated in the surrounding environment.  ‘A Family History’      Over the years the company has had a constant development without ever losing its identity, made of tradition and authenticity with a focus on innovation that has made wines a timeless expression, beyond temporary trends.     A century after its foundation in the 1880s, the company was revolutionized by the founder’s grandson, Leonildo Pieropan, thanks to his unique style and innate vocation for winemaking. Over the years he became a pioneer and the point of reference for other Soave producers. His determination was fundamental in his project on quality and authenticity that put the vineyard at its center.  Leonildo's idea was simple but at the same time revolutionary: to enhance the individual vineyards and give the wines an identity based on the relationship between variety, soil and climate and human work. This has led to the creation of two symbolic wines of Italian enology, "Vigneto Calvarino" in 1971, the first Italian white single vineyard and "Vigneto La Rocca" in 1978. These two wines are the expressions of the diversity and versatility of the two soils present in the area: basalt of volcanic origin in the Calvarino, limestone of marine origin in the Rocca. The strong link with the territory leads Leonildo to make important choices also for the agronomic management of the vineyard, eliminating chemical weeding in 2002 and starting to convert all production to organic in 2008. In a few years Leonildo became the best interpreter of Soave production and a point of reference for the national and international markets. The fourth generation, represented by his sons Andrea and Dario both graduates in agriculture and enology, after the painful loss of their father in 2018, continue the family tradition in the vineyards near Soave with the same love and passion of their forefathers.
