A Story of Three Generations In 1921 Joseph Manzoni left his home in Switzerland to settle in the small town of Greenfield in Monterey County. He started a dairy business and later moved into full time crop farming. Among the many old world traditions brought over from the homeland was the making of wine and grappa. He introduced it to his workers, friends, and his own family. This proud tradition grew into what is now the Manzoni Estate Vineyard. The business, as it is today, began in 1990 when the family converted five and a half acres of land to vine rootstock. In 1999, with the planting of imported clones, the Manzoni family turned their family tradition into a full time passion. "From the start, our business has been family owned and family run. Our grand vision is to distinguish ourselves with the perfection through limited production." says Mark Manzoni
