The Storyof Scarpa
Having arrived from Venice as a visionary migrant, Antonio Scarpa was pleasantly surprised by the magnificence of the countryside all around him, the exclusivity of the local cuisine, and the delicacy of the Piedmontese wines. From the moment he set foot on these hills, he chased the dream of establishing a small winery that would accumulate the best traditions in the region in order to share the most cherished Italian beverages.
The modern Scarpa winery is the work of Mario Pesce, a wine maker from Nizza who took a small wine cellar and converted it into an established company with best-in-industry standards. Respect of the land, relentless pursuit of quality, and patient bottle aging make Scarpa what it is today.
The renaissance ofa well-known historical brand
Our wine
Elegance, time, purity.
Scarpa celebrates the varietal abundance of Piedmont through wines that are naturally inclined towards longevity. We carry out distinct, slow and expressive vinification processes, without forcing anything. Our single vineyard labels are made in purity, exclusively from native Piedmontese grapes, in pursuit of the genuine bond with the territory and loyalty to our history.
Each gesture, in the vineyard as in the cellar, is carefully measured. Each wait is full of meaning. Each aging is a hymn to the future wine.
Scarpa believes in the classic expressiveness of Piedmont wines, in their natural ability to evolve and age, proving that only time – and constant care – can unveil the noblest essence of our land.
Taste, explore& enjoy
A visit at Scarpa includes a tour of our historical cellar, home to a magnificent library of old vintages. During the tour you’ll also take a look at our French and Slavonian oak caks made by local barrel builders. We age our best wines in these large oak barrels since they highlight the gentle and strenght of our Barberas and the delicate charachter of our Nebbiolos.
