“They chose Nebbiolo as their holy grail - usually a foolhardy decision in California, but they perhaps have accomplished making the most successful Nebbiolo yet in the state” -Jon Bonne-

The New California Wine

“One of my favorite wineries in Paso Robles, Brian Terrizzi’s Giornata is dedicated to exploring the potential of Italian varieties in this part of California. They do a great job with all their cuvées, but I have a soft spot for their beautiful Fiano, a grape that I’d love to see planted more extensively in this region.”

-William Kelley-

The Wine Advocate

“Giornata, based in Paso Robles, is specializing in Italian varietals and also making simply stellar wines...I was absolutely enthralled by the quality of their very classically-styled Nebbiolo, Aglianico and other bottlings and look forward to following their progress with each passing vintage...Clearly the finest nebbiolo I have tasted outside of Barolo or Barbaresco! ”
