Our story in a few more words
The San Rucci story started from humble beginnings in 2006. My Father made wine for a living and I was curious to learn more about his craft. In our backyard were a few muscat vines that I decided to harvest and make a dry white wine. Needles to say the 2006 Dry White wine was not noteworthy, but from then on my father and I have been making wine together. 2017 was the first release of San Rucci Winery.
Our name, San Rucci is a combination of our two Italian family names - San Filippo, and Becherucci. Our winemaking philosophy is based on the simple fact that wine is food. We craft wines that we enjoy and that will pair well with food (they taste great without food too). Our grapes are grown by quality driven grape growers throughout Central and Southern California. At minimum, these vineyards are organic and sustainably farmed. All of our wines are handcrafted by my father and me (often times other family members too). We look forward to you trying our wines and hopefully will see you at our tasting room soon!
Salute!
