Emidio Pepe

Emidio Pepe founded his winery in 1964, starting out with 15 hectares in Torano Nuovo. Emidio's two daughters now run the estate, continuing the hands-on approach to making wine that their father favoured back then.

In most vintages there are two Montepulciano wines made at the winery.

One made from young vines which is released only in Italy after a few years of aging, and one that is laid down in the cellar for, normally, at least five years. The bottlings from young vines are never exported outside of Italy. The winery doesn't feel the young vine wines have the body or complexity to make the voyage overseas.
