Lapis Luna
If it’s true that great things happen “once in a blue moon”, then Lapis Luna is testimony to wine worth waiting for. Each vintage is the inspiration of a team of individuals dedicated to creating an exceptional, handcrafted wine at an exceptional price.
From overseeing the growth of the grapes to the bottling of the wine, the founders of Lapis Luna believe every sip should be an experience that is sexy, soft, intense, and loaded with flavors. A case in point is the 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon, featured in The San Francisco Chronicle, as one of the top 100 wines of the year.
In an industry where you would never expect such quality wine in this price bracket, founder Sal Nuccio is a breath of fresh air. Born in Italy, he has a no-nonsense approach to the philosophy of making great wine. As apposed to the mass producers, our limited production allows us the luxury of giving that personal touch to every aspect of our wine making process.
The owners of the Lapis Luna Wines are relentless in their vision to create distinct wines that will have an allure not unlike that of the pull of the moon on the tides. Each season we will delight you with distinct vintages of Merlots, Cabernets, Old Vine Zinfandels, Petite Sirahs and Chardonnays. Never again will you have to wait for the next blue moon to enjoy the best California has to offer.
