The Pisano family share an Italian and Basque heritage and this family-run estate traces its roots back to 1914, when Italian immigrant, Don Césare Secundino Pisano, moved to Progreso and planted vineyards there. Today, the fourth generation of Pisano’s, brothers Daniel, Eduardo, and Gustavo, keep tradition alive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst and foremost, Pisano is a family winery and each brother brings his own passion: Eduardo manages vineyard care with artisanal precision; Gustavo oversees the cellar and blending; and Daniel, the family's charismatic spokesperson, drives exports to far‑flung places, even to Antarctica, bringing Uruguay into the global wine conversation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pisano family are fiercely proud of Tannat, Uruguay’s flagship grape. They balance tradition with experimentation, selecting clones, adjusting yields, and refining techniques to capture both the grape’s depth and the land’s character. Vine care is personal: canopy management, selective hand‑harvesting, and patiently waiting for perfect ripeness are part of their artisanal process. Their mission? To craft wines that are not merely good, but distinctly expressive, shaped by a century‑old Italian‑Basque heritage, and delivered with unmistakable Uruguayan soul.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile uncertified Pisano are an organic producer. Pisano we have been working in a sustainable way since the very beginning. Cesar Pisano, the father of the three brothers, never used pesticides in the vineyards and this practice continues today.
