Open: Year-Round
For Claudia Purita, sustainability and self-reliance have always been a way of life. Growing up on her family's farm in Calabria, Italy, Claudia assisted in growing vegetables and wine grapes and raising small animals from very young age. At her father, Domenico's, side she learned to value the land and the fruits that it provides. After moving to Long Island and spending several years in the restaurant industry, Claudia decided it was time to "return to her roots."
Much of the vineyard was hand planted and each vine has been meticulously tended to by Claudia's exacting touch. Day in and out, she has labored, largely by herself, to produce the highest quality fruit. The superiority of her work is evident in each of the wines made from the vineyard. A few sips will lead you to appreciate just what one woman's hard work can produce.
