About Ferrari-Carano
Our customized vineyard practices help the vines produce the best fruit possible, and in turn, the best wine possible. At Ferrari-Carano, we’re all on the same team. Vineyard, cellar, winemaking…we come together to achieve a common goal: a delicious bottle of wine at the end of the day. Ferrari-Carano has long practiced sustainable farming techniques to help protect the lands they farm – both vineyard and agriculture – and the environment that surrounds them. Rhonda Carano and her late husband, Don, realized early on that to achieve their goal of producing memorable wines of outstanding quality, they needed to start in the vineyards. Inspired to meet their present goals while preserving the land for future generations, Don and Rhonda made the commitment years ago to implement sustainable farming techniques from vineyard to bottle.
