Vintages of Distinction
Accolades
Throughout its nearly century-long history, Bargetto Winery has had a long, proud tradition of producing award-winning wines. Discover some of our recent and historic awards.
Every year is a new vintage with a fresh start to create wine, yet challenges always remain. Wine, as the beverage of moderation, health, and inspiration, keeps me going. We perspire so our customers will relax and enjoy life a bit more. The modern world is full of anxiety and I see wine as the antidote to some degree.
