Socially EQUITABLE is the third "E" component of Winegrowing Sustainablility. How we, as a business, interact with our workers and community is important to BARGETTO WINERY.

 

Each year BARGETTO releases a new vintage of LA VITA wine -a unique red wine which is a blend of estate grown italian varietals.

 

Part of the proceeds from each LA VITA vintage goes to a non-profit organization in Santa Cruz County. Past beneficiaries include: Jacob's Heart, Siena House, Hospice and Santa Cruz County Search & Rescue, Good Shepherd School and St Francis Soup Kitchen. The 2003 LA VITA funds will go to Porter Street Library in Soquel. As an all-volunteer library, this institution has been providing library services to the community since 1913.

 

John Bargetto, director of the LA VITA wine says, "LA VITA wine is our finest effort in winemaking, from growing these unique grapes, to producing the wine to designing the unique package. We are very pleased to be able to give back some of the proceeds to the Santa Cruz community, which has been so supportive to Bargetto Winery during our 75 year history."
