Pieropan

Leonildo, the doctor of the town (the general practitioner of today), started the family business due to his passion for wine. In 1901 he bought the first plot of land, where now stands part of the Calvarino vineyard. Leonildo’s sons, Gustavo and Fausto, carried on the wine business with dedication and foresight. In 1966 Leonildo Pieropan, grandchild and namesake of the founder, and the only descendant of a large family, after having completed his studies in oenology and viticulture at the school of Conegliano (TV), brought profound changes in the winery.

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, climate and human work. 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 2008, with other friends, he founded ''FIVI'', the Italian Federation of Independent Winegrowers.

The Valpolicella adventure arrives in the early 2000s, with the acquisition of the Monte Garzon Vineyard and Villa Cipolla in Tregnago, recently renovated and used as a Wine RelaiIs. In a few years Leonildo became the best interpreter of Soave 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.
