Cabernet Sauvignon Charlie Smith Vineyard
- Red
- Cabernet Sauvignon
Di Costanzo is a collection of elegant, dimensional, and classically styled Cabernet Sauvignons, each sourced from a single, heritage vineyard, comprised of volcanic soils. Each site boasts a magical combination of responsible farming, mature vines, temperate micro-climates, and soils formed by our region’s volcanic past. All the Di Costanzo Cabernets have their own distinct story, but when tasted comparatively they all exemplify the best of Napa and Sonoma Cabernet Sauvignon and belong together as a family.

Vineyard Information
Sonoma’s Moon Mountain District is a newer AVA, established in 2012, however its volcanic soils and rich winegrowing legacy have made this a highly prized region for many decades. Planted in the mid 1990s, this site yields Bordeaux varietals with complex structure and bold, expressive fruit. Boasting rocky, west-facing slopes, Charlie Smith is one of the latest sites picked each season, sometimes as late as early November. This Cabernet is prized for its generous, lush profile, while retaining a nuanced and elegant character. Certified Organic: CCOF.
