The ancient Domus Pilandro was built in San Martino della Battaglia between the 15th and 16th centuries.
In 1980 the historic farmhouse in the heart of Lugana was bought by the Lavelli family together with seven hectares of vineyards, continuing a centuries-old tradition of winemaking. Pilandro wines are deeply linked to their territory and from it derive that fresh flavor that distinguishes them. To keep this inviolable connection intact, the grapes are treated with all the respect they deserve and processed in the complete absence of oxygen. The fermentation of the must takes place at a controlled temperature, thus externalizing all the most intense characteristics and well-defined aromas of each wine.
The name Pilandro today identifies a winery with an international flair that is recognized in the world of wine for its excellent quality and the desire to dare and innovate more and more.
