Emidio Pepe

Emidio Pepe founded his winery in 1964, after working alongside his father and his grandfather which already back in 1889 where making wine at Casa Pepe. Before anyone else, he strongly believed in the great ageing potential of Trebbiano and Montepulciano d’Abruzzo and he dedicated all his energies to those two indigenous grape varietals, proving their incredible potential and showing it to the entire world.

A balance in the vineyard, achieved after years of work, thanks to the expert hands of the grower Emidio who, with his 55 years of harvest experience, was able to perfectly determine the nourishment of the plants, the soil tilling, the pruning and the vegetation of the vines, limiting any kind of intervention in the vineyard and in the cellar. No chemical products are used, even in the most difficult years and conditions. No selected yeasts to make the alcoholic fermentation start and no enzymes are added to encourage the genesis of perfumes. Only natural products such as copper crystals, mine sulphur and biodynamic preparations are actually used, both in the vineyard and in the cellar. All of this just to return the terroir, the climate and the culture through the distinctive personality of the Montepulciano and the Trebbiano d’Abruzzo.
