Outside the wine industry Mario Andretti may be the more famous one, but within the wine community Bob Pepi is just as well known for his significant contributions, including his pioneering of the Sangiovese varietal. Pepi has over three decades of winemaking experience in Napa Valley and has been an integral part of the Andretti winemaking team from the beginning. He began by working the vineyards of his father’s land at a young age and then co-founded Robert Pepi Winery with his father. His philosophy, like that of the rest of the team at Andretti Winery, is that great wines are made in the vineyards. With Pepi in the lead, this winery is creating wines known for their lively fruit notes, excellent balance and intriguing complexity.
