i. Biography
Giuseppe De Pra founded Cantina De Pra in Ormelle, Italy, in 1959 with a clear and enduring purpose: to build something that would outlast a single lifetime and become a generational legacy for his family. From the beginning, his vision was rooted not in spectacle but in patience, discipline, and the quiet confidence that comes from working the land well. His focus remained on growing vineyards, selecting the best grapes, and shaping authentic, high-quality wine—an approach that suggests a maker attentive to both the character of the vine and the final expression in the glass.
Signature
Giuseppe's signature wines include Brut Prosecco, La Seve, Pinot Grigio, Pinot Nero, and Piave Malanotte Docg. Together, these signature wines sketch the range of the house’s identity, from the celebratory lift of Brut Prosecco to the distinctive character implied by Piave Malanotte Docg. La Seve, Pinot Grigio, and Pinot Nero further broaden that portrait, offering a sense of a cellar shaped by breadth as well as by precision. Through them, Giuseppe De Pra’s original aim remains visible: to create wines that feel faithful to their origin, carefully made, and worthy of being passed down.
