About
Cappelli Family Wines operates from Placerville, drawing from Sierra Foothills and El Dorado County vineyards. The portfolio spans eleven varietals, from Zinfandel and Barbera to Mission and Alicante Bouschet. The 2024 Pinot Grigio comes from a small foothill vineyard at 2,200 feet, picked at 23 Brix. The 2024 Old Vine Zinfandel blends 80% old-vine fruit from Lodi with Primitivo and Petite Sirah from El Dorado. The Sierra Foothills Rosé layers El Dorado Zinfandel, Fiddletown Mission, Foothill Barbera, and Cabernet Sauvignon. The Super Tuscan Blend pairs Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese from Calaveras County, produced in four barrels. The RH Rhone Inspired Blend draws from five foothill vineyards. Both Mission Angelica and Fortified Muscat age eight years in barrel. A tasting room offers flights for $12.
