Nello Olivo makes primarily Italian wines and blends from 11 varieties of estate-grown grapes. His efforts to make “the best Italian wines under the California sun” result in smooth, well-balanced, robustly flavored wines, popular with wine-enthusiasts, competition judges and anyone who loves delicious wines, especially with food.
The grapes grow at Rancho Olivo Vineyards in Cameron Park. They are hand harvested and made in small lots. The wines are poured at two tasting rooms in El Dorado County: the winery on Carson Road in Camino, and the wine cellar of the historic Sequoia Mansion in Placerville.
Since 2010 those wines have taken 205 medals across 35 competitions, including a perfect hundred points at the California State Fair.
