A journey to the heart of Sierra Foothills’ wine country, steeped in deep-rooted history, breathtaking landscapes, and a blend of adventure and tranquility, is also home to some of California’s most cherished wineries. And among them, Vino Noceto stands tall and proud, pouring glasses filled with history, tradition, and exceptional taste.
A Noceto Legacy For over 25 years, Vino Noceto has been hailed as the producer of “California’s Best Sangiovese”. With its roots in the picturesque Amador County, this winery has intricately crafted eight distinct Sangioveses, along with the renowned Old Vine Zinfandel, the playful Frivolo Moscato, the robust Barbera, a harmonious Tuscan Red Blend, and many more.
But what’s in a name? ‘Noceto’ translates to walnut grove in Italian. A nod to the walnut – once a staple crop on the very grounds of the estate. Even more charming is the connection of the name to Noceto, Italy – the sister city of Walnut Creek, the native town of Suzy from the pioneering duo of Suzy and Jim Gullett.
Wine, People, and Passion Founded by Suzy and Jim Gullett in 1987, Vino Noceto’s journey is not just about crafting exceptional wines. It’s about people. The passionate crew, many of whom are locals from Amador County, bring a blend of warm friendliness and profound wine expertise, making every wine tasting session an unforgettable experience.
It’s a sight to behold and a story to embrace – from witnessing the bungs in wine barrels to tracing the journey of the wine from farm to glass. These award-winning wines are not just beverages; they are conversations, waiting to accompany a vast array of dishes, from Thai to Italian to the classic Barbecue.
Community at the Heart What truly sets Vino Noceto apart is its unwavering commitment to the community. From donating wine and time to being actively involved in local organizations, Jim and Suzy have ensured that Vino Noceto remains a pillar of support in the Sierra Foothills region. Their community outreach, responsible employment practices, and generous spirit showcase their dedication to the land and the people that make Vino Noceto what it is today.
For those looking to be part of this giving spirit, Vino Noceto gladly considers all donation requests, making an impact that goes beyond the vineyards.
