Description

In ancient times, the winery was divided into two bodies, one called Stoppa, and the other Macchiona.
Macchiona is the name of a farmhouse located in the middle of vineyards of the most traditional red varieties of the Colli Piacentini region. This wine faithfully reflects their characteristics.

From this winery
  • Start up year: 1973
  • Oenologist: Giulio Armani
  • Bottles produced: 160.000
  • Hectares: 30
La Stoppa is a long-established estate, founded over a century ago. Situated in the Emilia-Romagna region of Northern Italy, its vineyards stretch along the Trebbiola Valley, not far from the Trebbia river in the province of Piacenza. The estate extends over 58 hectares, of which 30 are planted to vines, and the remaining 28 are left to nature.

In 1973 La Stoppa was bought by the Pantaleoni family, and from the mid-nineties, Elena Pantaleoni leads the company. Elena, flanked by Giulio Armani, focused the work in the vineyards, managed accordingly to the organic method certified by Suolo and Salute. The naturally low yields, due to the average age of the vines and the poor soil, and the intrinsic quality of the grapes make it possible to obtain very characterized wines, born in the vineyard and transformed in the cellar through a minimalist approach.
