Penns Woods Winery

Penns Woods Winery is the result of Gino Razzi’s lifetime of experience in the world of wine. A respected importer and distributor of wine, Gino is an Italian immigrant from Abruzzo, in southern Italy. He settled in the Delaware County area in 1962, where he was fostered by the area’s Italian-American community. Gino served four years in the United States Marines then attended college in California. After graduation, he returned to Pennsylvania to rejoin family and friends.

With three decades of success as a wine importer, in 1995, Gino turned his experience towards the craft of winemaking. He finished his first wine in 1997. Symposium, a Montepulciano d’Abruzzo was his first commercially released wine, and was awarded 95 points by Wine Spectator Magazine. This publication recently honored this wine again with its inclusion in the retrospective article “Italy’s Golden Vintage – the 1997 Harvest” in 2007.

Gino’s pursuit of perfection led him to his own back yard. In 2002, he began to craft wines from Pennsylvania–grown grapes. To his surprise, he found that great wines can be made in Pennsylvania.

After a two year search for an ideal vineyard site, Gino decided to purchase the Smithbridge Winery, in 2004, to take advantage of its 25-year-old grapes.

Gino is convinced that Pennsylvania has the capability to produce world-class wines, and hopes to contribute to the legacy of hard work and artistry of his predecessors. As a symbol of these aspirations, one dollar from the sale of each bottle of Penns Woods wines is donated to the Pennsylvania State College of Agriculture for viticulture research.

The Penns Woods Winery’s story is just beginning. Taste, enjoy, and cellar our wines. Be a part of history in the making!

On May 29th Penns Woods Winery will feature:

Sauvignon Blanc 2009

Deep golden with notes of green in color, this wine whole, supple and complex with hints of tangerine peel, grapefruit pith and traces of minerality

Proprietors ‘Reserve’ White Wine
Deep lemony gold in color, this blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Grigio has a warm nose packed with generous aromas of melon, tropical fruit and citrus.
White Cabernet 2006
A fully dry wine, it possesses a subdued bouquet of dark red fruit, with aromas of black plum and a real tannic structure, unusual for a pink wine that gives this wine real finesse and verve.
Proprietors ‘Reserve’ Red Wine
This wonderful blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot is deep red in color with flavorful notes of a floral bouquet, dark red fruit and provides a long finish
Merlot Chambourcin 2006
Deep ruby in color, with bright, yet penetrating red fruit aromas first greet you supported by an underpinning of bittersweet chocolate
