A collection of wines produced from classic varietals of Italy. Starting in the north, Barbera from Piedmont. Traveling through Tuscany with Sangiovese and finishing in the land of Primitivo: Puglia.
These are the Washington grown grapes from the single vineyard selections, Cervo, Cinghiale, Porcospino. Made for you by the Famiglia Smith: Charles, Ginevra, Charlotte.
Italian inspired and locally produced, ViNO was created by Charles Smith in 2010 with the inaugural release of a 100% Pinot Grigio. This is in keeping with the vision of producing Italian varietals with the same integrity as they would be produced in Italy. Hand-made wines that are a great value and delicious to drink.

Appellation92 Points, James Suckling (v2016) “This is tangy and salty with a dense and wild-fruit center palate that show so much intensity and freshness. An energetic, driven finish.” 90 Points, Jeb Dunnuck (formerly of Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate) (v2016) “Deep ruby/purple-colored, the 2016 Barbera Cervo Northridge Vineyard is another knockout value. Blackberry, smoked meat, herbs, and earth nuances all give way to a full-bodied, concentrated, beautifully textured, silky effort that’s already hard to resist.”
No, you don’t have to go to Italy to get a really super Sangiovese. Vibrant, pipe tobacco, Italian cherry, sandalwood and tomato leaf. Dark earth fills out the broad shoulders of this substantial wine. Exact, distinct and real.
Brooding Primitivo. Dark flavors, black cherry, plum, cold ash intertwined with dried herbs and cool stone. Delivering a deep, compelling, serious Washington wine.
