About Vino Noceto

Vino Noceto has been making "California's Best Sangiovese" for over three decades. Located in beautiful Amador County, we now make eight different Sangioveses as well as an Old Vine Zinfandel, a slightly sparkling Moscato called Frivolo, Barbera, a Tuscan Red Blend, and more!

Suzy served for many years as Treasurer of Amador Vintners Association, is a past president of Diablo Valley Hadassah, and spent many years donating her time to numerous charitable organizations.
