History
Viña Pirazzoli is an old winery established around 1920 and acquired by Andrés Pirazzoli Regis in 1985. Its vineyards stretch across the Curicó Valley, from the foothills of Molina to the locality of Sagrada Familia.

The wines of Viña Pirazzoli are produced in two wineries located in Sagrada Familia and Lontué, with a total capacity of 7 million litres. The winery produces 100% of its wines from its own grapes, ensuring traceability and consistent quality over time. Their greatest pride is their human team, who have been a significant pillar for generations, contributing to the success of Viña Pirazzoli.

Noble Custodio is the vineyard's flagship brand, personified in a coihue (Koywe in Mapudungun), a tree found in the central and southern regions of Chile. It is said that Noble Custodio has been watching over the family vineyards for centuries, embodying serenity, commitment, and nobility. These values form the foundation of Viña Pirazzoli's philosophy, reflected in the essence and quality of their wines.

Vineyards
The vineyards are located in three main areas of the Curicó Valley, covering the regions of Molina and Sagrada Familia, with a total of approximately 407 hectares, from the foothills to the coastal interior drylands.

Fundo San Luis de Pichingal
Located in the foothills of Molina at 312 m a.s.l., it covers approximately 90 hectares. The soils are of alluvial origin, moderately deep, with a loamy clay texture and the presence of stones. The climate is Mediterranean sub-humid, with a marked seasonality of rainfall. The area has a temperature variation between day and night that can reach up to 20°C, making it an ideal place for achieving the best expression of white wines. Main planted varieties: Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.

Fundo Entre Ríos
Located in the locality of Lontué, bordering the river of the same name, it has a total of 125 hectares of vineyards. The Lontué Valley, whose name in Mapudungun means "low land area," has a Mediterranean sub-humid climate, partially influenced by the Pacific anticyclone, which strongly marks the winter season. It also has a thermal amplitude of up to 15°C. The soils are of alluvial origin, with a loamy-clay texture, good drainage, and moderate organic content. These characteristics allow the red varieties to ripen properly, resulting in fresher, more concentrated, and fruity wines, ideal for prolonged aging. Main planted varieties: Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.

Fundos Santa Julia and San José
Located in the Sagrada Familia commune, 21 km and 27 km respectively from Route 5 South, departing from Lontué. This locality corresponds to the coastal interior drylands, situated 67 km in a straight line from the coast of Iloca and at 229 m a.s.l. It has a temperate Mediterranean climate, with slightly warm summers and moderately cold winters. The natural ventilation provided by winds from the Pacific helps moderate temperatures in summer. The soils are loamy, with a high presence of clay and gravel. Its warmer climate with lower thermal amplitude is ideal for red varieties, especially Carménère and Syrah. In this privileged terroir, the vineyard has 178 hectares. Main planted varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Carménère, Syrah, and Carignan.
