OUR STORY
GENERATIONS IN THE MAKING
-
-
After working as a winemaster for Hollister Winery, Luigi established his own winery, L.A. Lepiane in 1935.
-
Luigi never fully realized his dream to produce and sell wine under his own name. He passed away in 1938 after a year-long battle with cancer.
-
Three generations later Luigi's dream was resurrected by his great-granddaughter when in 2013 she began crafting Italian varietal wines under his name in Santa Barbara County, California.
