Rizzo Winery is a micro winery that focuses primarily on single vineyard, single varietal wines, crafting each wine to express and showcase the unique characteristics of the varietal and its Terrior. All our red wines are unfiltered and cellared for a minimum of 20 months on one, or a combination of new and neutral American, French and Hungarian oak depending on varietal. Oak is used to create nuances, and as a tool which enables us to craft complex, beautifully balanced, full bodied, rich red wines that offer an exceptional total sensory experience, and for the collector wines which will cellar for years. Once you try our wines you'll know why we refer to Rizzo Wines as "the wine makers' wine".
