The first plantings of our twelve acre Estate was Cabernet Sauvignon, planted in 1998. Expanding in 2007, it is now comprised of an additional three acres of Brunello Sangiovese, and three acres of Pinot Grigio. The soil is decomposed granite, and sandy loam.

Vineyard di Domenico

Planted primarily to Clone 8, Cabernet Sauvignon (three acres), this vineyard was planted in the late 90’s and purchased by us in 2006. In 2007, the rich sandy soil produced what we expect to be an exquisite vintage, we intend to enjoy sometime in 2009.

Vineyard di Federico

Comprised of three acres of Brunello cloned Sangiovese, these grapevines are essentially off the boat from Tuscany Italy. If Barolo is the King of Italian grape varietals, the Brunello is certainly the Queen. It is delicate, fragrant and sometimes mysterious.

Vineyard di Romeo

Planted by Robert, this vineyard has three acres of Pinot Grigio, clone 4. The soil is decomposed granite, sandy loam, and well-drained, producing grapes with intense varietal character, true to its Northern Italian roots.

Rootstock Diversity:

Each of the property's vineyard blocks is carefully matched to a specific rootstock best suited for the soil type found in the block. The benefits of careful rootstock selection include better vigor control, disease resistance and drought tolerance. The vineyard management is continuously re-evaluating available rootstocks and block improvement and replanting is on-going.

Clonal Selection:

The Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese, Pinot Grigio clones chosen for the Renzoni vineyard were precisely selected to suit the soil, climate and type of wine the Renzoni's intended to produce. Three clones were used.

Trellising:

The Renzoni vineyard almost entirely utilizes a unilateral cordon with vertical trellising. This allows us to manage the canopy for maximum balance, good light penetration and the proper ratio of leaves to berries.
