Welcome to Grassini Family Vineyards

We are thrilled to share our sixth vintage of our much beloved Afiora Rosé. Composed entirely of Cabernet Sauvignon from our estate in Santa Ynez, we have fondly named this wine “Afiora,” as a tribute to Larry Grassini’s great-grandmother, Afiora Grassini. Afiora and her husband, Articondo, were the first members of the Grassini family to leave Pisa, Italy to start a new life in America.

NEW RELEASE! Our 2020 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon opens with notes of plum, wild blueberry and cherries coated in dark chocolate, the aromas are captivating. The dark fruit notes that greet the nose progress into lingering aromas of sage, cedar, vanilla and worn leather. Dense and concentrated, the mid-weight palate is velvety and nuanced, with a decadent, well-rounded mouthfeel. The finish is firm and luxurious and leaves you ready for an immediate second sip.

The Happy Canyon AVA is blessed with characteristics of both warm and cool climates. Our AVA is home to the warmest microclimate in the Santa Ynez Valley. Cool nights give way to dense early morning fog, which then lifts to reveal long afternoons full of bright sunshine - the perfect setting for growing some world-class Sauvignon Blanc!
