Castello di Borghese Vineyard & Winery

Castello di Borghese Vineyard & Winery Nestled in the North Fork of Long Island's Bordelaise microclimate, we are blessed with a 210 day growing season and sandy loam soils. Many of our vines are amongst the maturest on Long Island. Exceptional fruit quality and careful attention to the winemaking process has resulted in classically proportioned wines since 1975. Ann Marie and Marco Borghese purchased the vineyard in the fall of 1999. The Borghese's are hands-on owners, committed to producing wines of the highest distinction. Look for more information and images from the vineyard in the months to come.
