She is native to Colli Piacentini where she makes wines today. She is the last of three siblings and has a brother and a sister. She first started working with books and music and had her own store in Piacenza. In 1991, Elena Pantaleoni took over the family estate, La Stoppa, located in Rivergaro on the first slopes of the Apennins mountains and works accompanied by Giulio Armani. The Domaine extends over 58 hectares, of which 30 are planted to vines, and the remaining 28 are left to nature. La Stopa was bought by her family in 1973 and before was run by a lawyer named Giancarlo Ageno who discovered the place to be apt for winemaking and started the production of wines with significant and curious names such as Bordò, Bordò bianco, Pinò. Since the mid-nineties La Stoppa decided to mainly cultivate the local grape varieties : Barbera and Bonarda for reds, Malvasia di Candia Aromatica, Ortrugo and Trebbiano for the whites. All focus is made on the work in the vineyards, managed accordingly to the organic methods certified by Suolo and Salute.
