Virginia's climate is typically favorable for growing grapes....they're one of the few crops actually thriving in the drought conditions.

It's Virginia's only winery that specializes in Italian- style vintage.
Italian wines are unique in that they're usually not "oaked", or aged in oak barrels like most wines.
Red wines take about 18- months from harvest to bottle.....white wines can be created as much as a year earlier.
