Azienda Agricola Fratelli Pisoni
Just under 1400 people live in the small South Tyrolean village of Lasino. Numbers soon grow in summer, when tourists visit this picturesque spot in the Valle dei Laghi at the foot of the Dolomites. The valley takes its name from its many lakes, which create an almost Mediterranean climate unusual at this altitude. Combined with heat-retaining calcareous soils, they provide perfect conditions for viticulture.
The resourceful inhabitants recognised these advantages early on, and in the late Middle Ages the estate of the Pisoni family was established. Since the middle of the last century, its traditionally made wines have gained recognition beyond Trentino, both nationally and internationally. Pisoni’s foundations are solid not only in tradition but also in practical expertise: both owners, Marco and Stefano Pisoni, completed their oenology training at the San Michele all’Adige institute. Several years ago, the brothers took a courageous yet forward-looking step, which has proved highly successful, by converting their parents’ estate to organic cultivation. In recent years, 8 hectares of terraced vineyards, some with ancient vines, have been restored and repaired through painstaking manual work. The entire estate, which uses strict measures to prioritise quality over quantity in its yields, obtained organic certification in 2010.
Italian and international wine guides praise these excellent wines from the Dolomites, making the traditional winegrowers’ confident English motto, “Fine wines from the mountains”, entirely fitting.
