Cultivating love for the territory while following the family path. The passion for this work and for Valpolicella has given birth, over the years, to products that have grown with the company, telling its story. In the 1960s, Carlo Pizzighella and Lina Urbani decided to purchase the lands they had already cultivated as sharecroppers, thus starting their own agricultural company of approximately 3-4 hectares.
Stefano Pizzighella was born in 1964 and together with his sisters he began to learn the values of the land and the cultivation of olives, cherries, apricots, and grapes. Stefano decided to return to his land and reclaim what he had left behind, turning it into his dream farm, after experiencing various farming and non-farming activities.
Stefano took over the farm in 1984 and began implementing innovative ideas for the future. By buying unused or never-considered fields for growing grapes and olives, he was able to expand his farm. In January 1990, Stefano and Giulietta bought a piece of land on the hill called Le Guaite and began to work in the vineyard for the future production of the winery. This vineyard was the starting point for their project to produce Valpolicella, Amarone, and Recioto.
In 1997, Stefano fulfilled one of his aspirations for the company by purchasing a small oil mill to commence oil production with a dedication to excellence in the oil industry. Between 1999 and 2001, the initial attempts to make Valpolicella started.
Giulietta established the Le Guaite winery in 2002 and produced its inaugural vintage, accompanied by the initial bottles of Valpolicella Superiore, Amarone della Valpolicella, and Recioto.
Valpolicella Ripasso and Solitario (Amandorlato) were produced for the first time in 2006, which resulted in an increase in wine production. In 2008 the first vintage of Thano Igt Rosso Veronese was produced, the expression of Valpolicella and the territory, representing the identity of its soils and the quality of its grapes. Tisbe, a monovarietal that follows Valpolicella’s traditional drying practices, was produced in 2013 using Cabernet Sauvignon from their Le Guaite vineyard. Their classic method of sparkling wine Durello was first assessed in 2018. In 2020, the official vintage of Diverso-Durello’s classic method will be produced.
Currently, the winery is managed by their daughter Noemi Pizzighella, born in 1994, who has followed her parents in the countryside and in the cellar since she was a child, becoming enthusiastic about this work. After years of collaborating with her parents, Noemi decided in 2015 to take over the family business and launch her own project: Le Guaite di Noemi. The name comes from the label her parents dedicated to her, as it was the wine that she loved the most. Le Guaite refers to a ‘place of observation’ or ‘guard post’ where one can observe the surrounding areas. Noemi, who represents the new generation and has a new vision for the family business, chose the name ‘Le Guaite’ for her winery. Read more
