Gianelli Vineyards

Gianelli Vineyards sits in Tuolumne County, in California's Sierra Foothills—a region defined by elevation, diurnal temperature swings, and a tradition of exploring Italian and Mediterranean varieties. The winery focuses on three distinctive wines: Aglianico, the dark-skinned southern Italian grape known for structure and earth; Montepulciano, Tuscany's rustic red with tannin and mineral character; and Vermentino, a crisp white from Sardinia and the Italian coast. Each reflects the Sierra Foothills' cool nights and intense sun, terroir conditions that suit Old World varieties seeking balance and complexity. Wine Enthusiast has rated the Aglianico and Montepulciano at 89 points, and the Vermentino at 88 points.
