About Sogno Del Fiore
About
Welcome to Sogno del Fiore Wine Company
Translation…Sogno means dream. Fiore means flower.
The path that brought us to the beautiful Santa Ynez Valley revolves around our interest in discovering new wines. That was over 20 years ago, and we realized our wine tasting discoveries quickly became a passion and a new way of life. We have always loved sharing our finds with family and friends.
One of our many objectives was to have the full experience of the wine process. To accomplish this, we purchased land and planted a beautiful vineyard to gain the knowledge of terroir, rootstock, clones, and best farming practices. Our intention was to gain the respect of notable winemakers so they would buy our grapes. Objective accomplished.
Another objective was to make Wine Tasting a complete experience by searching, sourcing, and securing unique limited production California Wines and creating a Wine Club with members who are serious about wine. Objective accomplished.
A “Curator’s” approach for that special wine.
THE SELECTION PROCESS:
The most common question is where do you find these great wines, the GEMS?
Our journeys are frequent within the wine regions of California. Season by season we are constantly meeting with winemakers and reviewing their releases and future releases.
A significant number of the varietal selections are tasted/reviewed while still in the barrel, future forecasting.
Our forecasting procedures are based on the extensive membership data base we have accumulated over the years. This allows us to address wine preferences, current trends and production issues. On average we converse with approximately fifteen notable winemakers per month along with their farming partners.
Selection criteria…
- Quality first
- Limited or no retail exposure
- Boutique in concept with low production levels
- Pricing to match the quality/value relationship
