For over a century, the Pieropan family has revolutionized winemaking in Soave, becoming one of the most acclaimed Italian wine families. The Pieropan legacy began in the late 1800s when visionary winemaker Leonildo Pieropan purchased the historic Palazzo Pallucci in the medieval village of Soave. Today, Leonildo’s great-grandsons, Andrea and Dario carry on the patriarch’s vision making it the oldest family owned estate in Soave. Pieropan oversees numerous acclaimed vineyards. It was the first winery to offer a single-vineyard Soave Classico with the release of Calvarino in 1971, Pieropan is credited with initiating a renaissance in quality winegrowing in Soave.
