The House of Sangiovese in Amador Wine Country

Italian Wine &
California Sunshine

New Arrivals

From our signature Sangiovese to the rarer Sagrantino, Noceto takes an Old-World approach to Italian varietals—bright, balanced, and made to pair with food.

“No clearer example of the subtly floral taste of Sangiovese can be had, even from Italy ... Vino Noceto Amador Sangiovese is the target the rest have to hit...”

— Bob Thompson, SF Examiner

Located only 45 minutes from Sacramento and Lodi, our vineyard-side Tasting Room & patio are just a quick jaunt away in sunny Plymouth, California.

The Gullett Family and their award-winning Sangiovese

The Best Sangiovese in California

“The best (and only) Chianti-styled Sangiovese in California.” — Dan Berger, Vintage Experience

“My favorite domestic Sangiovese wines come from Vino Noceto in the Shenandoah Valley of California.” — Mike Dunne, Sacramento Bee

“Light enough to enjoy a glassful by itself, but would be marvelous with a pasta entree or grilled chicken. The most perfect pizza wine I’ve probably ever had. This is surely what Sangiovese should be like.”  — Narsai David, KCBS Food

With hundreds of Gold medals and 90+ point reviews, it’s no surprise that wine critics call our Sangiovese the best in California.

Customer Review

"Thought we were getting a standard tour and tasting. Were we wrong. Garret was amazing ... he got a ladder and climbed all the way up to the top of the rack and got us a tasting of a 2009 Port that was absolutely gorgeous... If you want to taste amazing wine and meet the best people I've ever met at a winery; stop by here."

— Dave Bassman
