HISTORY
After
living in
Marin
County
, The Scalabrini’s moved to
Annapolis
in 1976. The
vineyards were planted in 1978, replacing an old apple orchard. After
farming for several years, Basil Scalabrini began making wine
commercially. With no winery, the first wine was made in a
redwood grove at the top of the hill, a 1986 Cabernet Sauvignon…
It was great! We
built the winery in 1987, and began making wine from each vintage
thereafter.
We
are family owned and operated, and are involved in every phase of the
wine growing process. From
pruning to bottling, we take personal pride in producing the best wine
we possibly can. Our focus is on quality, not quantity. We produce a
very small amount of wine, taking personal care at each step of the
process. The results are wines that are naturally lush and intense.

WINE MAKING
Growing
conditions in
Annapolis
are unique to
Sonoma
County
:
an elevation of about 1000ft, five and a half miles from the
Pacific
Ocean
,
cool coastal breezes, sandy low-vigor soils, and abundant sunshine. From
vine to bottle, we do everything we can to stay out of the way, and
let the wine grow. |

PHILOSOPHY
Less
Is More! Our aim is to allow the grapes flavors to develop naturally,
with as little intervention as possible. We practice sustainable
farming techniques.
No synthetic pesticides are used. All
of our fruit is hand picked and carefully inspected. No
fining agents are used. Personal care and attention go into every
bottle. What you taste in the bottle is what is grown in the fields.
All our wines are made from locally grown wine grapes. Our
mission statement: "To Use Local Fruit and Provide our
Customers with the Essence of The Sonoma North Coast." |
