La Stoppa

In a region better known for Lambrusco and industrial Pignoletto, Elena Pantaleoni has spent more than three decades quietly rewriting the rulebook at La Stoppa, a 50-hectare estate in the Trebbia Valley that has become one of Italy's most celebrated addresses for natural wine.

La Stoppa was founded in the late nineteenth century by a Genoese lawyer named Gian Marco Ageno. Elena's father purchased the estate in 1973, and Elena began working the land in 1991 after his passing. Teaming up with head vignaiolo Giulio Armani in the mid-1990s, she dismantled the previous planting of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc and replaced it entirely with the native varieties Barbera, Bonarda, Malvasia di Candia Aromatica, Ortrugo and Trebbiano. Organic certification followed in 2008, formalising practices the estate had observed since the early 1990s.
