History
Papagni became renown for wines crafted from Alicante Bouchet, a deep, dark wine with spice, rich fruit, and a gentle earthiness. At one time, Alicante Bouchet was the most popular wine grape in America, accounting for nearly 1/3 of all grapes grown in California.
In recent years, we have been focused on producing small lot, hand-crafted, award-winning wines including our signature Alicante Bouchet , chardonnay, cabernet, pinot grigio and many more — that are available exclusively in our tasting room and select local restaurants.
