THE BARGETTO WINERY HERITAGE

A SANTA CRUZ MOUNTAINS TRADITION

THE APPELLATION

It has long been known that quality wines are grown in the vineyards of the Santa Cruz Mountains. BARGETTO WINERY'S history has been inextricably tied to these mountains, the winegrowing region in which our finest wines are grown.

The Santa Cruz Mountains appellation is a viticultural area possessing unique geographical characteristics and one that has had a long winemaking tradition. The combination of cool, marine- influenced temperatures and shallow, well-drained soils yield distinctive wines. These characteristics convinced the BATF in 1982 The Santa Cruz Mountains to approve the Santa Cruz Mountains as the first appellation in the has been recognized as a country defined by a mountain range. It has become known as premium wine-producing “America's Premier Mountain Appellation.” region since the late 1800’s. Appreciated even 100 years ago, wine experts awarded a host of medals to the wines of the Santa Cruz Mountains at the prestigious 1889 International Exposition in Paris. Through the ensuing decades, with the rugged mountain terrain precluding large vineyards, the scarcely available wines of the area continued to gain a premium reputation. The noted American wine authority, Frank Schoonmaker, wrote in his book American Wine (1941), “California's best table wines, whether white or red may be expected to come from the Santa Cruz Mountains, from the Napa Valley, and from Sonoma County.” Today the Santa Cruz Mountains has gained a national reputation for producing some of California’s finest wines.

THE FOUNDERS

The Bargetto family winemaking heritage in the Santa Cruz Mountains began in 1890 when Giuseppe Bargetto and his son, Philip, emigrated from Castelnuovo Don Bosco, a small town in the Piedmont region of northern Italy. Having traveled by train across the Unites States, they immediately went to work at the Casa Delmas Winery in Mountain View. They brought with them generations of winemaking experience.

In 1909 John joined his brother Phillip in San Francisco. The original Bargetto family winery was located in San Francisco from 1910–1917. The name of this winery was South Montebello Vineyard and Wine Company. The grapes were brought by rail car most likely from the Santa Cruz Mountains. With Prohibition on the horizon the winery was closed and the brothers moved to Soquel in 1917. Philip and John purchased the present site of BARGETTO WINERY in 1920. During Prohibition (1919-1933), the brothers operated a “truck farm” whereby they grew and sold vegetables throughout Santa Cruz County. They continued to make wine for family and friends.

Continued Seated: Philip and John along with their mother Standing: John and Philip’s six sisters.

In 1922 the hardworking brothers purchased a 40-acre ranch in the Soquel hills above the present site of BARGETTO WINERY. Here they grew fruit and had some grapevines as well.

On December 5, 1933, the day Prohibition ended, the brothers opened BARGETTO WINERY along the banks of the Soquel Creek. Phillip Bargetto passed away in 1936 and John was left to operate both the ranch and the winery until the 1940s. After World War II, both of John’s sons Lawrence and Ralph joined the family business upon graduating from college.

THE NEXT GENERATION

The Bargetto Family winemaking heritage continued with John's son Lawrence taking the reins as president in 1964 until 1982. During his time, Lawrence provided key vision for the winery by introducing modern improvements such as refrigerated stainless steel fermentation, and barrel aging. Furthermore, Lawrence expanded the production of Santa Cruz Mountain’s varietals by adding Pinot Noir and Chardonnay; drawing from local outstanding vineyards such as Vine Hill Vineyards. He also introduced the CHAUCER’S line of dessert-style wines.

TODAY Today, the third generation of Bargetto family directs the operation which stands as the most historic winery in the Santa Cruz Mountains. In 2008 we celebrated our 80th anniversary. The family’s pioneering spirit continued with the establishment of Regan Estate Vineyards in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Chardonnay, Merlot and Pinot Noir are all grown in the estate vineyard. Also, in keeping with the family heritage, northern Italian varietals Dolcetto, Nebbiolo, and Refosco are grown. A blend of these varietals results in the distinctive LA VITA wine, with each year’s unique label creating an art series.

The famed northern Italian white varietal, Pinot Grigio, is also planted in Regan and has become our most popular varietal wine.

HISTORY: Planted 1992-1999 VARIETIES: Merlot - 8 acres TOTAL SIZE: 50 acres Chardonnay - 10 acres Planted acreage: 36.5 acres Pinot Noir - 13 acres LOCATION: Green Valley area, Corralitos Pinot Grigio - 2.5 acres Santa Cruz Mountains Dolcetto - 1.5 acres Elevation: 575 ft. Nebbiolo - 1.0 acres SOIL TYPE: Clay-Loam Refosco - .5 acres TOPOGRAPHY: Rolling hills Total: 36.5 acres

MERLOT Traditionally planted in warm climate, Merlot has thrived in the cool climate of Regan Vineyards. It yields a wine with deep color and rich fruit flavors. BARGETTO WINERY produces Regan Vineyards Reserve Merlot and Santa Cruz Mountains Merlot.

CHARDONNAY At Regan Vineyards, two clones of Chardonnay have been planted. The Mt. Eden clone was brought to the SCM by Paul Masson in the 19th Century. This clone comes from Corton-Charlemagne in Burgundy, France, one of the finest Chardonnays of the world. Clone 4 is a larger cluster clone; this clone is the standard for most north coast vineyards. While this clone doesn’t produce a wine of equal depth of Mt. Eden, it does offer a fruitiness that compliments the Mt. Eden.

PINOT NOIR Each clone is vinified separately and then depending on the vintage, all or part of each clone will make it to the final Pinot Noir blend. The finest lots yield our Reserve wine. BARGETTO WINERY specializes in Pinot Noir: Mt Eden Clone, Reserve, Pommard Clone, Santa Cruz Mountains, and Monterey County.

PINOT GRIGIO Regan Vineyards is the first vineyard in the Santa Cruz Mountains to plant Pinot Grigio. It’s a relative to Pinot Noir and its name means gray pinot-but its color when ripe is actually bronze. Pinot Grigio, when grown in our cool site, creates an amazingly flavorful wine.

DOLCETTO Three varieties go into the production of our ultra-premium Italian blend LA VITA: Dolcetto, Nebbiolo and Refosco. Of the three, the Dolcetto produces the most grandiose size clusters-some weighing as much as two pounds. The Dolcetto is the most significant part of the LA VITA blend. It is grown in the Bargetto’s hometown of Castelnuovo Don Bosco, located in the Piedmont region of northern Italy.

NEBBIOLO Nebbiolo in Italy yields two of the most famous red wines: Barolo and Barbaresco. To achieve intensity in flavor and color, we thin 75% of the fruit leaving only 25% remaining. Nebbiolo’s yield is typically light and the fruit comes with naturally high acidity and tannin.

REFOSCO This grape yields a wine with very deep purple color and a unique black pepper aroma. It ripens very late and in many vintages is not picked until November. The Refosco, along with the Dolcetto and Nebbiolo, go into the LA VITA wine which is released after five years of aging.
