The Domain: From bud break to fruit set, veraison to harvest, the Maggio family has cultivated their vineyards for generations. Of the 2,500 acres that comprise the Maggio Estates, they select the best lots for this namesake wine. Meaning May in Italian, Maggio represents the new growth of spring, the promise of fruitful harvest, and the continued commitment to sustainable wine growing practices; the persistence of five generations of farming evident in the quality of the wine. 

Originally built in 1934, Oak Ridge Winery operated for many years as a winemaking cooperative. The winery was purchased by Rudy Maggio, a third generation winegrower in 2002, and his three daughters continue to oversee operations today. The Maggio family has called Lodi home for over 100 years and take pride in their role as stewards of the land. All of their 2,500 acres of estate vineyards are farmed in accordance with LODI RULES, a third-party sustainability certification created for the Lodi Appellation that signifies a commitment to rigorous, scientifically-sound sustainable wine growing.
