Being sustainable wineries begins with creating vineyard ecosystems for plants and people that are resilient to Mother Nature’s mood swings. Climate-smart farming is a new approach where different techniques and technologies are employed to adapt how we grow grapes while delivering the exceptional level of quality for which Far Niente is known. Our methods include changing vineyard row orientation for sun protection, planting rootstocks and clones that are more resilient, and embracing the sustainable business pillars of water conservation, carbon footprint reduction, and biodiversity.

Michael Accurso | Winemaker
Winemaker Michael Accurso aims to craft captivating wines of elegance and depth with a liveliness that lifts all senses and conversations. Like every Far Niente family winemaker, he believes in the highest standards of winemaking, starting with a beautiful, biodiverse vineyard that is farmed sustainably and with precision. Capturing the spirit of each vineyard is his North Star—an approach he learned making single-vineyard wines at Nickel & Nickel. Then, the art form of blending every Bella Union wine takes the wheel.
