- Description
-
Our own estate vineyard was planted in 1927 by Alcide Pelletti on the eastern bench of the Laguna de Santa Rosa flood plain. Both sides of the Laguna were popular for settlement by Italians immigrants in the early 1900’s. Today, thanks to families like Pelletti, Frati, Marcucci, Pietro’s, Carlo’s, Mancini, Maffei, Montafi, Bacigalupi, Gambogi, Fava, and Saitone, this area represents “ground zero” when it comes to old-vine Russian River Valley zinfandel.
