A family operation from the beginning. For centuries our ancestors created their version of the grape to produce a wine unlike any other. It was theirs alone! Our fathers, Joseph T. Chiappone and Joseph J. Oliver, were no different from many other European men who had their way to grow and blend the grape. For many years we all enjoyed the fruit of their labor. As one might expect, we all thought no wine was or could be better than theirs. No one in the family ever became interested in the legendary product in quite the same way . . . until TJ came along. While his Dad made wine it was TJ who, early on, needed to know all there was to know about the family's wines. The seniors recognized this and taught TJ all they knew including family secret blending formulas, handed down through the generations. It was this uncanny and insightful interest that continued the learning process that took TJ to incredible heights and is responsible for the nationally and internationally awarded wines produced at today's winery. Of course TJ is Thomas J. Chiappone, a chemist and enologist for 40 years.

Years of research and development have resulted in Thomas' ability to blend the old and the new to produce wines you will consider the finest ever to touch your pallet . . . World Class Judges do!

While wine making at Chiappone Cellars is done following proven old European Methods, impeccable control is maintained with wine-making equipment and machinery imported directly from Italy. A controlled temperature room and a laboratory with state-of-the-art equipment assures the highest quality wine bearing our name!
