About Pennacchio Vineyard
The Pennacchio Vineyard is located in the cool southwestern reaches of the Sebastopol hills. The vineyard is on an easterly facing slope beneath coastal ridges that protect it from the ocean’s cooling fog. The vineyard is planted with a single Pinot Noir selection – Clone 115 – on Saint George root- stock. This unusual pairing of clone and rootstock contributes to a more robust growth, delayed ripening and larger clusters. The fruit from this vineyard is the very definition of our focus on terroir.
I truly enjoy grape growing and working with and teaching my children and grandchildren the process behind growing the highest quality Pinot Noir. Being intimately involved in every aspect of this process is what keeps me young. Every year I look forward to the journey from dormancy, to bud break, to harvest day.
