The area was designated an AVA for its similarities to the Indicazione Geografica Tipica region of Italy, known for its “Super Tuscans.” The unique geographical location, climate and soil characteristics of the Sonoita AVA produce award-winning Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Merlot and more. Because of the region’s natural water retention, and the cool air blowing over the mountains, the Sonoita AVA offers exceptional conditions for producing wine.

  • Our Portfolio
    2020 About Us Circo Vino (pronounced Chir-co Vee-no) is loosely translated as “Wine Circus” in Italian. Circo Vino serves as a national importer for the United States and is licensed to sell to wholesalers nationwide. Circo Vino acts as the main sales, marketing, and public relations entity for its winery partners. Circo Vino does not have a centralized office or warehouse, preferring to utilize a virtual office and current technology to centralize company communication. Circo Vino has significant relationships with shipping agencies and warehouses nationally and internationally that assist us in our flexible and fresh shipping design. Circo Vino began in 2009 with a dedication to find flexible avenues to encourage direct imports of artisanal wines from unique terroirs to the USA marketplace. We believe that sublime wine is a result of the collaborative relationship between mother nature, the grower and the consumer. The ultimate connection we seek to create is between the grower and those who appreciate his or her wines. With this in mind, we specialize in Direct Import Facilitation, focusing on emerging state markets that need assistance in directly importing wine as well as helping established markets simplify their Direct Import structure. We seek wines that demonstrate a sense of place and a singularity of style - wines that make us say “Yes! This is it!” We gravitate toward wines that are farmed in low-impact ways and handled gently, and we prefer to work with winery partners who grow wines with both a respect for tradition and a sustainable vision for the future. We love working with partners that infuse humor and creativity into their work and are interested in reaching the dinner tables of American wine drinkers as well as retail shelves and restaurant wine lists.

  • Provisioner Bona Fide Pure Arizona, Arizona White Table Wine 2014, 57
    Provisioner Bona Fide Pure Arizona, Arizona White Table Wine 2014, 57% Colombard, 30% Chenin Blanc, 13% Malvasia 13.3% Alc • The Provisioner White is fresh, crisp and fruity with perfect amount of body. It’s wonderful as an accompaniment to a light lunch, with serious dinner foods and, of course, all by itself. • In early frontier days the small-town general store was the social hub and lifeline for the hardy pioneers that settled the American Southwest. These stores, or provisioners, sold everything from nails to flour, blankets to whiskey. Arizona, despite efforts to tame her, is still a wild place with many secrets lying just below the surface. The most recent discovery is the propensity for the vine to thrive here and to yield a fine nectar that is indisputably Southwestern. Provisioner wines capture and share the soul of this place, and they do so in the spirit of the old-time general store: they support new exploration, they push us into new territory and make this quest we are on a little more honest and enjoyable. And all of this without breaking the bank. Drink well. These are wines for the people! • Fort Bowie Vineyard, Cochise County, Arizona • Fort Bowie Vineyards is the second oldest vineyard in the state. Planted in 1984, the massive French Colombard vines on the site are a big as a foot in trunk diameter. Additionally, the deep, loamy soils and warm summers (the warmest of our vineyards) lend to fruit driven wines that are approachable and young. • At an elevation of 3750 feet, Fort Bowie has two distinct vineyards, the Shop block and Lacey’s block.

  • Wines and Grape Varieties
    Carefully selected Rhone grape varieties are grown at LDV Winery. Our first vines were planted in mid-April 2008. Two acres of Petite Sirah grapes were the first planted on the estate. The estate's soils, climate, and water quality directed us toward Rhone variety grapes. These are grapes from the Rhone region in France. Once we decided to grow Rhone variety grapes, we made several other key decisions regarding the rootstock and clones. Varietal A “varietal grape” no matter where it is planted and how it is turned into wine will embody certain characteristics that reflect that grape’s personality. The variety is influenced by the terroir or sense of place (soil, water, and weather) but the basic characteristics shine through. How the winemaker enhances the grape’s personality through the winemaking process imparts the winemaker’s personality. At LDV Winery we allow the grape variety to express itself in the best possible way, reflecting its unique characteristics. Rootstock Picking the best rootstock that will work in the soils and is tolerant to disease is critical. This is probably the most important decision made by a wine grower and producer. The goal is to match rootstocks to local conditions to ensure that it can grow successfully. We have found that 1103P and 110R rootstock works best at LDV Winery. Clone The genetic make up of the actual grape variety is called the “clone.” All wine grapes have multiple clones that produce different characteristics from the original. For example there are different clones to choose from for our Petite Sirah, Syrah, Grenache, and Viognier.
