THE PELLEGRINI FAMILY has been associated with every tier of the wine business since the early part of the 20th Century — as wine producers, grape sellers, importers, and wholesale distributors. In 1915, Nello Pellegrini immigrated from Italy, eventually landing in the Santa Rosa Plains, a sister city to his hometown of Lucca, Tuscany. In 1925, the first Pellegrini wine was made from Sonoma County grapes in a gravity-run winery in San Francisco. Upon the repeal of Prohibition in 1933, they were issued Winegrower License No.4.
In 1972, Vincent & Aida Pellegrini purchased a 70-acre plum and apple orchard on West Olivet Road in the Santa Rosa Plains. The first vines Pinot Noir and Chardonnay were planted in 1975, using heirloom Martini and Wente Clones respectively, establishing Olivet Lane Vineyard as one of the first Pinot Noir pioneers in Russian River Valley.
50 YEARS after its first vines were planted, Olivet Lane is home to the region’s oldest still producing Pinot Noir vines. The perfect combination of terroir and climate is the secret to its longevity. Widely recognized as a prime example of the classic style of Russian River Valley Pinot Noir, it has been the grape source for many of the Valley’s Pinot Noir luminaries — Williams Selyem, Merry Edwards, Gary Farrell, Darioush — in addition to our own acclaimed Olivet Lane Vineyard Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. OLV was faithfully tended to by third-generation Robert Pellegrini for three decades. Today, Nello’s great-granddaughter Alexia Pellegrini oversees the stewardship of Pellegrini-Olivet Lane.
PELLEGRINI WINES are produced from grapes sourced within Sonoma County and have earned a reputation for consistent quality. We produce small lots of appellation blends and varietal-designated wine from unique vineyards, farmed by farmers we enjoy partnering with. Our winemaking style emphasizes balance over power and exhibits regional characteristics representative of each appellation.
