Il Campo is grown, fermented, and barrel-aged at our estate on Westside Road on the southern tip of the Dry Creek Valley. Six acres were planted in the late 1990’s on eastern-facing sloping hills. This vineyard orientation ensures that the vineyard would only see direct sunlight during the often foggy mornings. “Il Campo” is Italian for “the fields,” to mark and continue the rich traditions of the early Italian immigrants to the Dry Creek Valley, where some original plantings of field blends are still being used today. We followed suit and planted 5 acres of Zinfandel, one acre of Petite Sirah, and small amounts of Carignan and Alicante Bouschet. Today, using low-watering techniques and regenerative organic farming practices, Il Campo is poised to create its own history.
