About Pellegrini-Olivet Lane
Pellegrini-Olivet Lane combines two identities: the Pellegrini family's Italian-heritage surname (pellegrino means 'pilgrim' or 'wanderer' in Italian — the one who journeys toward something sacred) and Olivet Lane, the West Sonoma County road address where their Russian River Valley estate is located. The combination places both family and place on the same label.
The Olivet Lane estate has been one of Russian River Valley's most respected Pinot Noir and Chardonnay sources since the Pellegrini family established it in 1991. The Olivet Lane corridor is among the Russian River Valley's most fog-influenced zones — the Pacific marine air flows through daily, and the resulting wines have the cool-climate tension and aromatic precision that make Russian River Pinot Noir and Chardonnay internationally respected.
The estate produces Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from old-vine blocks on the Olivet Lane property, with winemaking that preserves the natural character of this specific Russian River Valley site.
