From the producer - “Pisano belongs to the group of small family vignerons with an artisan tradition of making wines that reflect the character of the land and the people who make them. Family hands cultivate the grapes, taking away excess crops in productive years, taking leaves away to expose the bunches to the sun for better maturation and skin colour. Small quantities of each variety allow to wait the perfect maturation to the last day. We begin picking the early maturing varieties the 10th of February and by beginning of April we collect the last ones.”

The Pisano vineyards belong to a group of small family vignerons with an artisan tradition of making wines that reflect the character of the land and the people. Francesco Pisano arrived in Uruguay in 1870 from Italy (the great grandfather of the current owners). The original vineyards were planted in 1914 by his son Cesare. Today, this winemaking tradition continues and they produce some of the country`s most prestigious and best wines with distinctive character oriented to the high quality, niche market. These hand crafted wines are produced in limited quantities and total production at the Pisano family cellars is only 30,000 cases per year across the range of these award winning varietals.
