Peirano Estate Vineyards

In the early 1900s, Giacomo recognized the advantageous similarities of Lodi's climate with that of the coast of Italy where he and his family farmed Zinfandel vineyards for many years. He brought cuttings to Lodi from this vineyard where he propagated and planted them to create a new, natural rooted vine for what is now one of the largest blocks of old, head-trained, natural rooted Zinfandel fields left in the United States. During this era, the head pruning system was the most ideal viticulture method. In the early 1950s, the Peirano family continued planting and developing vineyards with the head pruned system used by Giacomo in the 1900's, but raised the topping height to six feet, accommodating the taller Peirano's of that era. Today, four generations later, Lance Randolph is a man on a mission. His mission is to not only produce the best wine to ever come out of the region but to also create worldwide recognition for the brand and the Lodi Appellation. Like his great grandfather, he knows that the first step towards accomplishing this mission begins in the vineyard.  At Peirano Estate Vineyards, the best "Old World" viticulture practices will always be utilized with the greatest "New World" techniques to ensure the best quality wine to ever come out of the Lodi Appellation.
