The Craft of Creating

Perrucci Family Wines

 

The process of making a quality wine is part lab experiment, part culinary art, and part heart and soul.  And at Perrucci Family Vineyard, we celebrate the entire process, and put all of our knowelege and skill in every barrel.

 

We believe that great wines are made in the vineyard.  That's why only grapes grown on vines we plant, nurish, and harvest are used in making Perrucci Family Wines.  And because our vineyards have so many varied characteristics including altitude, exposures, and soil substrates, we make a uniquely distictive and delicious wine with every vintage produced under the Perrucci Family label.

 

Knowing precisely when our grapes are at the peak of ripeness and ready for harvesting is essential to producing our full-bodied series of boutique wines.  Then measuring the exact amount of acids and sugars blending with the flavors of our various grapes is the next key in making the perfect bottle of wine. With just the right timing we add yeast nutrients, in precise amounts, and increase our chances of attaining a successful fermentation.  Next we age our wines in premium hand-crafted oak barrels.
