Delicato Wzin/wmer
Manteca value pours since 1924, off dry and honest.
The story behind Delicato
Gaspare Indelicato, a Sicilian immigrant, founded Delicato with his brother-in-law Sebastiano Luppino in 1924 in Manteca, California, in the Central Valley. For decades the family ran as a winemaker's winemaker, a premier bulk supplier behind other labels, before pivoting to its own estate bottling around 2000.
Today the Indelicato family still owns it outright, third and fourth generations at the wheel, with vineyard holdings across Lodi, Monterey, Napa and Sonoma. It is the fifth largest winery by volume in the United States, and certified sustainable farming runs across thousands of estate acres. We have poured these wines for years because the price never argues with the glass.
