Vino Noceto

Vino Noceto is a family-run vineyard and wine business founded in 1987 by Suzy and Jim Gullett of Shenandoah Valley, Plymouth, California. We are Sangiovese specialists, currently producing over 9,000 cases annually of Sangiovese from estate and nearby small vineyards. We additionally produce Moscato Bianco, Barbera, and Zinfandel. We have twenty-four acres of producing Sangiovese and one acre of Syrah. Vino Noceto's story is different from other Sangiovese producers, but is similar to many, small, "boutique" operations. Jim got started with California wine as a teenager visiting Napa wineries with family friends. Later, a favorite outing during Jim & Suzy's courtship in the early seventies was a weekend afternoon of leisurely wine tasting and picnicking in Napa or Sonoma. Jim took several courses at the UC Extension in San Francisco with Jim Olsen and Mel Knox. These broadened his wine horizons beyond the Franco-Californian Cabernet-Chardonnay axis.
