NOTES OF THE WINEMAKER
PIWI are grape varieties resistant to fungal diseases. They are the result of a constant
research of man and of a selection, which has been going on for several decades, of GMO-free crossings
between varieties of Vitis Vinifera (for wine) and American vine varieties (resistant to
fungal diseases), admitted to all effects for the production of quality wines. The
advantage is the minimum number of treatments performed and the consequent impact
environment for their cultivation.

CURIOSITY
The label of "Ho'opa" is "narrative": we invite you to open it and read all the stages of Pizzolato's journey into the world of PIWIs! The Hupa or Hoopa language belongs to the Athabaska language family, spoken by the Hupa people along the lower Trinity River in northwestern California and, prior to European contact, also by the Chilula and Whilkut. The literal meaning of the native name is: "Language of the people who inhabit the Hoopa Valley".
