Giornata Winery: Paso Robles' Italian Soul

Giornata Winery, nestled in the heart of Paso Robles' Tin City, is a testament to the vision of Brian and Stephanie Terrizzi, who set out to craft wines from Italian grapes using the sensibility and philosophy of Italian winemaking. The name 'Giornata,' Italian for 'a day's work,' reflects their dedication to the craft. Brian's journey began with a love for Italian food and a fascination with his heritage, leading him to work with Paolo DeMarchi at Isole e Olena in Tuscany. Stephanie's background in science and viticulture complements Brian's winemaking expertise. Together, they manage their estate vineyard and source grapes from other compelling vineyards, employing organic, biodynamic, and regenerative methods. At Giornata, you'll discover a range of Italian varietals, including Nebbiolo, Sangiovese, Aglianico, Barbera, and Fiano. The wines are crafted with an emphasis on balance and subtlety, showcasing the character of the grape, terroir, and vintage. The winery also produces 'Fatto a Mano' wines, aged in clay amphorae using ancient winemaking techniques. Tin City itself is a vibrant community of craft food and beverage producers, making Giornata part of a unique and walkable destination. Here, you can stroll between tasting rooms, sample innovative wines, and experience the passion of the winemakers.
