Lepanto

The Giacobbe farm began its history in 1939 with Leopoldo buying a hectare of land on top of the San Giovenale hill in the Province of Frosinone. Since then, 15 hectares have been cultivated, 9 of which are vineyards between the Municipalities of Paliano, Piglio and Olevano Romano. The vineyards located at a higher altitude are cultivated in Cesanese di Affile, thanks to their volcanic composition, while in those located at a lower altitude the Passerina del Frusinate is cultivated. Today with Alberto Giacobbe we are the third generation of winemakers and producers of excellent wine, in a constant balance between tradition and innovation.

Lepanto is the Superior Reserve version of the Cesanese del Piglio DOCG by Alberto Giacobbe, produced with 100% Affile Cesanese grapes grown in a hilly vineyard with clay soil and harvested manually. Fermentation takes place in steel tanks at controlled temperature and below 26 C°, while aging takes place in oak barrels for at least 12 months and then in bottle for another 18 months.
