Lepiane Wines, founded in 2013 by Alison Thomson in Santa Barbara County, revives a winemaking legacy that stretches back to 1935, when her great-grandfather Luigi A. Lepiane established L.A. Lepiane winery. Alison crafts Italian varietal wines—including Grenache, Nebbiolo, Barbera, Malvasia Bianca, and La Gaviota—from carefully selected Santa Barbara vineyards like Black Oak, Bee Sweet, Alisos, and Mora.
