Letās Go! 
Hi all, weāre Erin and Massimo Di Costanzo of Di Costanzo Wines. Massimo is a celebrated winemaker who cut his teeth at UC Davis, Tignanello, Ovid, and Screaming Eagle. Iām a certified sommelier and fine wine professional, with 20 years of experience in restaurants, wine retail, and winery development. Together, weāre a mighty team of two. St. Helena, California, is home, and weād love to welcome you for a tasting sometime.
Since founding Di Costanzo in 2010, Massimo and I have been making small lots of wines with a careful focus on single vineyard Di Costanzo Cabernet Sauvignons from Napa and Sonoma. In recent years, we added Costa Pinot Noir and DI CO Chardonnay to our production.
But today? For BerserkerDay16, wanted to dig into the cellar to highlight our beloved DI CO Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. Always 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, and nearly always from 40+ year old vines, grown at a beautiful site at the base of Mt. Veeder.
Sure, we can call DI CO our entry level wine, but itās always been more than that. When we added DI CO to our portfolio in 2016, our goal was to dramatically over-deliver in the Napa Cab category. Intentionally made (no purchased juice or leftover barrels here), each year DI CO is a seriously made and seriously delicious Napa Cabernet.
The 2020 & the 2022 DI CO are entirely from the Rafael Vineyard (seen in the pic above) boasting 40+ year old Cabernet Sauvignon vines of spectacular health and quality. The 2021 is about 1/2 Rafael, 1/2 Ferrogiarro Vineyard in Coombsville, a dry-farmed, organic site we only snapped up for one year.
In years past, this wine has been poured by the glass at Eleven Madison Park and The French Laundry. Just last month, it was featured as a ātremendousā Napa Cab of āexcellent valueā by Esther Mobley in the SF Chronicle.
What a perfect time to get your Napa Cabernet Sauvignon fix from an independent, artist-owned brand, where you can find so much wine for your dollar. Thank you to this community for supporting this wine since day one!

āā¦ a delicate balance of herbs and cassis, with a subtle note of licorice. Medium to full-bodied, (the 2020) is streamlined and not overdone. Instead, itās nicely balanced, finishing long, with slightly dusty tanninsā¦ impressive, 100% Cabernet Sauvignon." - 92 points, Wine Advocate
āThe 2021 DI CO is a supremely overdelivering Cabernet Sauvignonā¦a really impressive effort, combining approachability with sophistication.ā 93 points, Decanter
āDark, savory and expressive, the 2022 has a ton to offer (with) plenty of the savory, old-school character that is typical of these wines, but with less imposing structure and more immediacyā¦ the DI CO delivers tremendous quality and value.ā ā 93 points, Vinous
āIn just over a decade, Erin and Massimo Di Costanzo have established themselves as elite producers of classically leaning, old-school inspired wines.ā ā Antonio Galloni
