EMIDIO PEPE
Pepe Family
Emidio Pepe remains deeply committed to artisanal winemaking, blending tradition with thoughtful evolution. Fermentation and aging take place in concrete tanks for two years, preserving the purity of the grapes.
The estate differentiates between young and old vines:
Young vines: Bottled after aging in concrete and sold in the Italian market.
Old vines: Bottled and aged for an additional seven years before being released to the international market.
Wines over 20 years old undergo a meticulous decantation process. Each bottle is hand-decanted to remove sediment and ensure quality. Any lost liquid is topped up with the same vintage, and the cork is stamped with the decantation year, ensuring transparency and care in every bottle.
This philosophy is reflected in two cuvées:
Casa Pepe: A tribute to traditional methods.
Branella: A modern expression of new terroirs and techniques.
