Founded more than 30 years ago in Oregon's lush Willamette Valley, Ponzi
Vineyards is internationally acclaimed for producing some of the world's
finest Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc and White Riesling.
For more than three decades, wine pioneers Dick and Nancy Ponzi have set
the standard for Oregon's viticultural innovation while maintaining an
unwavering commitment to a tradition of winemaking excellence.
Ponzi's winemaker is second generation family
member Luisa Ponzi. The majority of Luisa's winemaking experience is
drawn from her life long
work with
her
father,
Dick Ponzi,
at their
Willamette Valley vineyards and winery. She blends her formal European
education of enology and viticulture with the Oregon wine expertise of
her world class winemaker father. Since 1993, Luisa has brought her knowledge
of Burgundian practices and combined them with her personal experience
to the family-owned winery.
The Ponzi Family's 100 acres of family-owned
vineyards in the Northern Willamette Valley are LIVE Certified, the world's
highest standard for sustainable viticulture. Ponzi Vineyards continues
to hold long-term contracts with many of the best growers in the region.
