Located in the heart of Dry Creek Valley, Papapietro Perry Winery specializes in small lots of handcrafted, single-vineyard designate Pinot Noir produced from the finest grapes Sonoma County has to offer.
Our toolkit for success contained a garage, good friends, some old equipment, great enthusiasm, a burning passion for wine and a lot of humor. With those tools, some incredible Sonoma County grapes and the love and patience of our family and friends, we built Papapietro Perry Winery, one vintage at a time.
After over 40 years of winemaking, we still firmly believe in a minimalist approach—allowing the wine to express itself and reflect the growing season through the nuances that appear from vintage to vintage. For this to happen and to produce those great wines, it is vital to pay attention to every detail; carefully attending to every step of the wine-making process, yet always with a light hand. We don’t over-extract or over-oak our wines. We give the wines the fermentation and aging environments that allow them to become exceptional—so we can smell and taste what the fruit has to offer us.
We have been fortunate over the years that so many people appreciate the wines as much as we do. We’ve earned success and are more established. But the simple desire to craft the best Pinot Noir we can – and to keep the whole thing decidedly fun – is what makes the winery a great place to visit and the wine in the bottle so special.
