Every year at Pisoni, we honor the rugged, windswept slopes of the Santa Lucia Highlands where Gary first began planting grapes in 1982. Lucia wines represent the exploration we do through winemaking and farming in this beautiful region.
We’re proud to announce that our 2017 Lucia Soberanes Vineyard Syrah was featured recently on Jeb Dunnuck’s “Top 100 Red Wines of 2019” list.
An artisanal winery, Pisoni can afford to put quality and winemaking philosophy at the forefront of their decisions. Jeff explains that the family has long been committed to what is called “native” fermentation to craft the best expression of Pinot Noir.
