  • Ep 113 Wine & Neighbors: Italian Style – Featuring Bella Luna Wines | Clesi Wines

    Ep 113 Wine & Neighbors: Italian Style – Featuring Bella Luna Wines | Clesi Wines
    Oct 25 2024
    🍇 Where Wine Takes You - Episode Highlights 🍷 Welcome back, to another lively episode of Where Wine Takes You, the podcast where we uncork the magic of Paso's vineyards and explore the stories behind the wines that define our region. Today, we're coming to you from a very special place: Bella Luna Winery. It's not just any winery; it's a testament to friendship, history, and the passing of the torch. Best friends Sherman Smoot and Kevin Healey started Bella Luna with the vision of creating something lasting, and now that legacy lives on through Nichole Healey-Finn and Lukas Finn. We also introduced our neighbors from across the street—Clesi Winery, founded by Chris and Adrienne Ferrara—who are bringing traditional Italian varietals to the Central Coast with their own unique twist. Chris traveled extensively through Italy, studying the culture, terroir, and winemaking techniques that make Italian wines so distinctive. Adrienne Ferrara contributes her passion for viticulture and ensures every bottle captures the essence of Italy. Together, they bring those influences back to Paso. Later in the show, our Travel Paso Spotlight featured Rich Verruni, the General Manager of Allegretto Vineyard Resort, where luxury and Paso's wine culture beautifully collide.
