These grapes were grown in the rocky and volcanic soils of the Suisun Valley AVA, and were left to ripen during an extended warm growing season. After fermentation, the wine underwent a 20-day extended maceration before being aged for 12 months on lees in an American oak whiskey barrel. As a result, the wine has transformed into a bold and refined vintage that can be appreciated when young or aged for 4-8 years.

Joe and Sam Paparone, two avid wine enthusiasts, grew up in a family with deep Italian roots that instilled the significance of wine in them. Inspired to carry on their great grandparents' legacy of wine-making, they set out to learn all there is to know about the world of wine. They read books, traveled the world, made wine, worked on vineyards, and even started a wine blog. Finally having acquired a wealth of knowledge and experience, they are eager to share their findings with others.

The Paparone brothers currently source grapes from various parts of the world but are actively seeking their own vineyard. Their inaugural vintage was released in 2018.
