During this episode, our hosts Marci Gordon and Beth Costa, get up close and personal with Mark Orsi from Orsi Family Vineyards. The trio dives into a discussion about the specialty of Orsi Family Vineyards – Italian varietals, shedding special light on their increasingly popular Barbera wine. With 11 individual varieties growing on their home ranch, they are elated to introduce their latest creation – a sparkling wine made from the lesser-known, yet delicious, Bianca Leila grape.
The conversation evolves from wine to the community atmosphere that comes alive within the estate. Famous for its welcoming, family-friendly aura, live music, outdoor events, and upcoming Barrel Tasting Weekend, this vineyard is truly a place to create memories. Stay tuned to learn more about their offerings, upcoming events, and how they’re embedding their Italian roots into every aspect of their winery. Don’t miss out on the chance of visiting a winery where you might just meet the owner and enjoy some unforgettable experiences.
