Kalpela Vineyards by Graziano
Located in Mendocino County, California, Kalpela Wines are the namesake of the Native American Pomo chief for whom our little local village Calpella was named. Calpella is now home to many Italian immigrant families, most of which have resided in the community for over 100 years.
Our wines are produced from many old-vine vineyards located in the hills and benchlands which overlook the headwaters of the beautiful Russian River. These extremely well-priced wines are not simple ordinary négociant wines which you find in this price category, but are fruit driven, complex and well-balanced wines produced and bottled at our winery in Redwood Valley. The wines are lovingly aged and or fermented in our forest of American and French oak barrels, again unusual for wines of this price. Kalpela’s retro Napa Valley/European label depicts tradition, quality and value.
