FROM SON OF COFFEE TO WINEMAKER

Podere Le Ripi was founded in the late 1990s by Francesco Illy. Yes, of the Illy Espresso family. It had always been a dream of his to have something of his own, to create something beautiful and sustainable. This terroir had pool soil and inhospitable climate, incredibly unsuitable for farming, and thus, was left unpopulated for thousands of years. But what Francesco saw was centuries-old olive trees, diverse forests and lush flora, as well as a thriving wildlife. He saw potential.

Today Podere Le Ripi creates wines of quality, with utmost respect to its environment. Fueled by healthy and sustainable farming methods, it is a winery not only passionate about its wines, but its socially positive impacts.
