More info on La Stoppa

La Stoppa own 58 hectares of which 30 are vineyards and 28 are woods, and have run the estate since 1973 when it was purchased by the Pantaleoni family and, since the mid-1990s, Elena Pantaleoni has run the company. Elena, supported by Giulio Armani who runs , has focused her work on the vineyard, which gives low yields in their chemical-free approach and poor soils.

 In the cellar, long macerations are favoured with concrete tanks and stainless steel vats, with some cuvees receiving longer aging in old wooden barrels. Minimum sulphites are used at bottling, if needed but not beforehand.
