The estate covers 500 vineyards throughout the Lodi American Viticultural Area, between the Sierra Nevada foothills and the San Francisco Bay. The Chardonnay grapes are grown in the Delta region, west of Lodi, which has a slightly cooler climate than central Lodi day and night. This gentle Mediterranean climate of warm days and coastal evening breezes is ideal for cultivating world-class grapes. The mature vines are gnarled and sculpted by time, yielding small amounts of intensely flavoured fruit to create wines expressing their terroir.

For five generations, the Maggio family has been growing wine grapes in Lodi and providing elite California winemakers with superb fruit for their wines. In 2002, the family turned their hand to winemaking, using the same estate-grown fruit they had sold for many years. Now, they proudly put their name on bottles that reflect their long and uncompromising commitments to sustainable agriculture and winemaking excellence.
