Farm to Glass Tour and Tasting 6 guests and a 2017 Magnum of Sangiovese

Farm to Glass Tour and Tasting:  Come share our passion for agriculture and winemaking. Our farm-to-glass tours give you a first-hand glimpse of each stage of the magic of what it takes to go from soil to cellar. You get a behind-the-scenes look at a working winery from vineyard to barrel room.

Bring comfortable shoes, a thirst for great Sangiovese, and your curiosity. We encourage you to ask questions and take pictures  and hope you don't mind getting a little dirty!

Reservations Required:  Please call the Tasting Room at 209-245-6557 to make arrangements for a date and time of mutual convenience.

About the Wine:  2017 Magnum of Sangiiovese Originale

Noceto's 28th vintage of our flagship Sangiovese. Made in the Chianti style -- food-friendly and true to varietal character you'll think you're in Italy.

"Baking-spice aromas and rich but bright red-cherry and strawberry flavors define this well-balanced, medium- to full-bodied wine that is true to its Italian roots. Moderate tannins and good acidity will keep it lively when paired with rich food."

About Vino Noceto:  They have been making "California's Best Sangiovese" for over 25 years. Located in beautiful Amador County, they now make eight different Sangioveses as well as an Old Vine Zinfandel, a slightly sparkling Moscato called Frivolo, Barbera, a Tuscan Red Blend, Pinot Grigio, and more!

Why Noceto? Noceto means walnut grove in Italian, and walnuts were a staple crop for the farm where the Noceto estate now stands. Noceto, Italy, near Parma, is the sister city of Suzy’s native town of Walnut Creek. Plus the name is short, simple, and easily said if not necessarily properly pronounced!
