About DeVincenzi Cellars
DeVincenzi is a family-owned boutique winery in the redwoods off Summit Road, above Los Gatos. Frank Virgil is proprietor and winemaker, and the whole operation runs in small lots.
The house style is deliberately two-handed. Virgil uses current winemaking technique alongside methods handed down through generations of old-school Italian winemakers, aiming for something that carries rustic Italian country flavour and California ease at the same time.
The range reflects that. Sangiovese and a Super Tuscan blend sit next to Pinot Noir, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.
Fruit comes from long-standing relationships with small family-owned vineyards, some in the Santa Cruz Mountains and some in Carneros over in Sonoma. Working directly with those growers is what lets him pick when the fruit is where he wants it.
There is no walk-in tasting room. Visits are by appointment, and the wines have also been poured at partner tasting rooms in the county.
