Shownotes
“Guglielmo Winery in Morgan Hill, California, founded in 1925 produces around 40,000 plus cases annually under their flagship brands, Guglielmo Private Reserve, Tre and the oldest label, Emile’s. Although the winery has grown, they still abide by the family philosophy to produce natural, quality wines to share with family and friends.” The current generation of the Guglielmo Family overseeing the family legacy is George Guglielmo as Winemaker and President and his Brother, Gene, as Partner and Vice President.
“Guglielmo Winery is situated within one of the larger American Viticultural Areas (AVA) of the Central Coast and San Francisco Bay with the specific designation of Santa Clara Valley. Their vineyards are comprised of around 50 acres planted to Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, Merlot, Carignane, Grignolino, Sagrantino, and Cabernet Sauvignon.”
“Third generation winemaker, George E. Guglielmo, grew up on the family wine estate in Morgan Hill, California and began absorbing many aspects of the wine business at a very young age from his father and grandfather. As a teenager, George began broadening his knowledge base by apprenticing with other local winemakers to learn as much as he could about grape growing and winemaking.”
“George’s winemaking philosophy remains a blend of age-old tradition and cutting-edge winemaking science and technology. George produces their wines with minimal handling or filtering – believing that the wines are at their best when allowed to develop naturally with only the necessary interventions by the winemaker. He shares his family’s strong belief that wines should be easy for everyone to enjoy at a reasonable price. His philosophy has paid off in the many award-winning wines he produces today that have been noted for both quality and value”.
