Located in the picturesque Ramona region of California, Principe di Tricase Winery is dedicated to producing natural wines that honor ancient winemaking traditions. This family-owned winery operates as a rustic working farm, offering an authentic experience for wine lovers.

Award-Winning Wines from Highland Valley

The vineyards at Principe di Tricase span approximately 4 acres, overlooking the stunning Highland Valley. Here, the grapes benefit from a gentle breeze that nurtures their growth. The winery prides itself on creating unfiltered wines made solely from grapes, with no additives or sulfites. This commitment to purity has earned them several accolades over the years.

Notably, Principe di Tricase won 1 silver and 2 bronze medals at the 2014 Finger Lakes International Wine Competition, along with awards from the 2012 Riverside International Wine Competition and the 2013 Orange County Fair Commercial Wine Competition.

Diverse Grape Varieties

Respecting the environment, the team at Principe di Tricase cultivates a variety of grapes, including Aglianico, Nebbiolo, Aleatico, Petite Sirah, Fiano, Nero D’Avola, Sangiovese, Teroldego, Primitivo, Malvasia Bianca, Piedirosso, and Sagrantino. The charming countryside surrounding the vineyards plays a vital role in expressing the unique characteristics of these grapes.

Traditional Winemaking Process

Following family traditions and maintaining ecological balance, the winery carefully harvests the finest grapes, which are then transported to the cellar for fermentation. The winemaking process begins in large steel vats, followed by aging and refining in wooden barrels. After careful maturation under controlled conditions, the wines are bottled and sold under the AVA label, offering a range of red, white, rosé, dessert, and fortified wines.
