History
Viña Pirazzoli is a historic winery, established around 1920 and acquired by Don Andrés Pirazzoli Regis in 1985. Its nearly 400 hectares of vineyards extend across the Curicó Valley, from the Andean foothills of Molina to the locality of Sagrada Familia.

Its wines are produced at two facilities located in Sagrada Familia and Lontué, with a total capacity of 7 million litres. Viña Pirazzoli crafts all of its wines from estate-grown grapes, ensuring full traceability and consistent quality over time. One of its greatest sources of pride is its team, comprising members of the second and third generations of winegrowers who have worked with the winery for decades.

Noble Custodio is its flagship brand, personified by a coihue tree (koywe in Mapudungun), a species native to central and southern Chile. It is said that Noble Custodio has watched over the family’s vineyards for centuries, acting as a guardian with serenity, commitment and nobility. These values form the foundation of the winery’s philosophy, reflected in the essence and quality of its wines.

Vineyards
The vineyards are located in three main areas of the Curicó Valley, covering the zones of Molina and Sagrada Familia, with a total of approximately 407 hectares, ranging from the pre-cordillera to the inland coastal dryland.

Fundo San Luis de Pichingal
Located in the pre-cordillera of Molina at 312 metres above sea level, it is home to approximately 90 hectares planted with Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. The soils are of alluvial origin, with medium depth, clay-loam texture and the presence of stones. The Mediterranean sub-humid climate has a marked seasonality of rainfall, and the area experiences a thermal amplitude between day and night of up to 20°C, making it a privileged site for achieving the finest expression of white wines.

Fundo Entre Ríos
Situated in the locality of Lontué and bordering the river of the same name, this vineyard is planted with red varieties such as Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, totalling 125 hectares. The Lontué Valley —its name in Mapudungun meaning “lowland area”— has a Mediterranean sub-humid climate, partially influenced by the Pacific anticyclone, which strongly defines the winter season. It also has a thermal amplitude of up to 15°C. The soils are of alluvial origin, with a clay-loam texture, good drainage and moderate organic content, enabling these two red varieties to ripen fully, producing fresh, concentrated and fruit-forward wines, ideal for long ageing.

Fundos Santa Julia and San José
Located in the commune of Sagrada Familia, 21 km and 27 km respectively from Route 5 South (Lontué), these estates are part of the inland coastal dryland, lying 67 km in a straight line from the coast of Iloca and at 229 metres above sea level. The temperate Mediterranean climate features mildly warm summers and moderately cold winters. Natural ventilation from the Pacific Ocean helps moderate summer temperatures. The soils are loam with a high presence of clay and gravel. The warmer climate and lower thermal amplitude are ideal for red varieties, especially Carménère and Syrah. In this privileged terroir, the winery owns 178 hectares, mainly planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Carménère, Syrah and Carignan.
