Emidio Pepe & Chiara de Iulis Pepe

Emidio Pepe, the namesake of the winery, was born in 1932.  He worked alongside his father and grandfather in the vineyard.  While his family vineyard was established in 1889, most of the high-quality fruit of Casa Pepe was sold to a Co-op.  It was not until 1964, convinced of the high quality of their fruit, that he bottled his first vintage.

He was also convinced that the wines of Abruzzo would age.  Not just the rich red Montepulciano d’Abruzzo, but the Trebbiano white wine.  As he got older, his daughters Sofia and Daniela took over working the winery, and now his granddaughter Chiara is making the wine, with her sister Elisa helping.
