Fine winemaking is both an art and a passion, but also requires an understanding of the science of alchemy. The Manzoni family relies on the idea of terroir. This is the time-honored method of combining soil, slope, sun exposure, with a nod to the gods of weather that let the grape varieties show their unique characteristics.
They have chosen to grow grapes on California's cool coastal mountains, ridges, and hillsides and benchlands. Here, they strive to give you the richest, most intense flavors with a unique and memorable character. | Soledad, CA Phone: 831-675-3398 Website: http://www.manzoniwines.com Appellation: Santa Lucia Highlands Tasting Room: Saturday and Sunday 11am to 5pm Map to Manzoni Family Estate Vineyard
