About Baiocchi Wines
Focused on premium, small lot wines, Baiocchi Wines produces fine wine from grapes grown in a high altitude environment. Baiocchi was inspired not only by the wine but by the founder’s consistent enjoyment of wine shared with friends after skydiving and base-jumping. Turning a passion for skydiving to a passion for wine might not be a traditional path to winemaking, but it’s led to the excellent wines available today.

John Del Maggio

TASTING NOTES:
Orellana - “The nose holds notes of sour cherry, herb, chocolate, raspberry and clove. The palate is firm on entry with a full-bodied core of blackberry and bright red fruit, finely structured, improving over 24 hours.” (80% Tempranillo, 20% Grenache)

Del Maggio - “Strawberry and plum aroma lift from the ruby color with nice clarity and depth. Mid weight with rich texture and ripe fruit, the wine finishes well with nice fine tannins.” (74% Grenache, 26% Syrah)
