Signature Wines and Wineries of Coastal California
Petite Sirah, and Primitivo, as well as Syrah, Chardonnay,
Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, and AlbariƱo. Visitors can sip and
sample these varietals in the Nella Terra tasting room, where
guests are made to feel at home and can always find a family
member to chat with. Nella Terra means "into the earth" in Italian,
and the cellars have a clear connection to the earth on which
they sit. The team is focused on the land and soil, studying the
ritual of the vines, and committed to creating quality estate-
grown fruit.

native stone harvested from the property. Seashell fossils can be found
embedded in the rocks.
