We feel so lucky to live and work in a place as wonderful as the Napa Valley, where the beautiful hills and weather are great for getting out, enjoying life, and especially making great wines!

 

Current Releases

​

We strive to create well-balanced Cabernet Sauvignon, which expresses the classic Napa Valley Cabernet traits. Our Cabernet is powerful and fruity, with concentrated flavor and dark vibrant color that is neither overly tannic nor oaked. We are proud that our Massimo Cabernet tastes great when released, and continues to improve with age.

​

We’ve bent the rules a little, and have created a wine with incredible complexity and rich flavor. Inspired by our great-uncle, our Rolando Rosso is made with a Cabernet base enhanced with Syrah and Merlot. Every year half of the blend is bottled, and the other half becomes the base blend for the next bottling. This technique produces a consistent wine with fruitiness from the young wine and a smooth aged taste from the old. The Rolando is designed to drink now.

Retired Varietals

​

In the tradition of our Tuscan heritage, we were able to craft several wines that would have made our Nonno proud. Sadly, while they are no longer part of our current lineup, they remain close to our hearts and wines we were proud to pour.

​

Mario Sangiovese was bright and fruity, like an Italian Chianti should be. As is with most Italian varietals, our Sangiovese's delicate flavor made it a wonderful accompaniment to food, especially pizzas and pastas.

​

​Mario Sagrantino was an Italian varietal, indigenous to Umbria.  It had massive color, tannic, plummy, spicy and earthy notes and paired great with Italian food, particularly red meats and porcini mushrooms.

​

Lito Vin Santo was made with patience and adherence to old traditional Tuscan methods passed down through our family. The mother yeast (or “la madre”) for this “holy wine” remained in the bottom of the barrel after bottling and those barrels were refilled with new juice each year. The la madre for our Vin Santo had been in use since our Nonno, Lito, brought it over from Tuscany in the 1950's. Our Vin Santo had classic aromas of toasted almonds, dried apricots, and white peaches followed by silky honey characteristics with a long spicy finish.
