Our goal is to make wine in the traditional Italian style. We do not create aggressive, overpowering wines, but rather varietals that are smooth, well balanced, and compliment any dish. When I reflect on the true essence of wine, I remember growing up in Avio where wine was enjoyed with friends and family, and was a true source of pride and tradition throughout the Ottaviani family. This is what our wine embodies; tradition, pride, and family.
Great wines are first made in the vineyard. We use old world processes which were passed down from generation to generation, and we do everything by hand. We farm to low yields and allow the grapes to show their unique character by doing as little as possible to hinder their way into becoming smooth, full-bodied varietals.
