About Genoa Wine Co.
Genoa Wine Co. is named for the great Italian port city — Genova in Italian, the Ligurian city that was once the most powerful maritime republic in the Mediterranean, home to Christopher Columbus, gateway through which the finest wines and spices of the ancient world passed to the markets of northern Europe. The maritime city name on a landlocked Paso Robles wine estate declares a connection to the long history of wine as a traded commodity, valuable enough to ship across seas.
The Adelaida District sourcing focuses on the calcareous limestone west-side Paso Robles sites that produce the most structurally complex and minerally distinctive wines in the appellation — the wines that would have been worth trading across Genoa's historic port.
The appointment-only format keeps the Italian maritime heritage declaration personal and the tasting experience focused on the calcareous limestone character that makes Adelaida District wines worth making a journey to find.
