The flight of the Bumble Bee defies physics – their wings are too small and don't flap fast enough to support their weight. Yet somehow through the sheer force of their will and determination they fly. Given the nearly impossible climate conditions we have here we should not make a wine this wonderful yet we do. Raffaldini Grande Riserva is our Bumble Bee wine.

Our newest proprietary blend is named for the year 1348, which is the earliest known reference to the Raffaldini family. This powerful red blend utilizes signature estate grapes that have been dried using the Appassimento technique. Opaque color coats the glass as deep, rich fruit and earth flavors erupt onto the nose. Complex fruit, earth, and white pepper spice flavors envelop the palate. James Suckling rated this wine 92 points, and it is currently the highest-rated North Carolina wine ever produced.
Co-fermentation of our best Montepulciano and Petit Verdot grapes, triple sorted, and aged in oak. Generous use of Appassimento fruit exhibits a dense, jammy core with complex flavors. 90 Points James Suckling
Our Sagrantino-based blend is deeply-structured with big, dry, dusty tannins. Volume, tannin, acidity and waves of flavor will build on the palate over the course of drinking a glass.
Sangiovese is the flagship red varietal of Italy and is known for attaining worldwide distinction in the communes of Chianti and Montalcino. Our Classico is created primarily from the Vino Nobile clone, and undergoes the Appassimento drying process to create a full-bodied wine with finely-tuned acidity, soft tannins and a dark, cherry finish.
Italian for “Beautiful Mix.” Skillful blending highlights juicy and delicious dark fruit flavors in an easy-drinking, medium-bodied wine with savory aromas.
Lively bubbles greet the palate follwed by thirst-quenching acidity carrying hints of green apple and mineral aromas. Our first traditional method sparkling wine.
Liguria is our Vermentino-based blend that is both incredibly rich and relatively full-bodied yet balanced by the natural acidity of Pinot Grigio. Our Vermentino vines are the oldest in the Eastern US and some of the oldest planted in the United States and deliver delicious grapefruit and lime flavors backed up by incredible minerality from our site's unique soil structure.
You will love this delicious "summer red" that boasts flavors of honeysuckle and fresh sliced pear. A bright rush of acidity carries citrus notes and melon flavors to a beautiful raspberry finish.
These thin-skinned grapes produce wines that are marked by their dryness, crispness and acidity. This combination gives the grape tremendous mouth-watering appeal.
La Dolce Vita boasts intense aromas of floral lychee, orange peel and cardamom. Made like a smooth and sweet Moscato d'Asti, this is a juicy explosion of fruit like biting into ripe kiwi or plump peaches.
