THE DAMIANI

Damiani Wine Cellars celebrates the unique microclimate and dramatic landscape that is New York’s Finger Lakes. We cultivate several vineyards nestled along the eastern shores of Seneca Lake where we purposefully limit the amount of fruit per vine to achieve concentrated flavors, and work with other premier growers in the area to source the finest grapes each vintage. The results are award-winning wines that yield extraordinary complexity and finesse, wines showing distinct character and expression of the land. Browse and shop our wines in our online store.

The Finger Lakes contains a mosaic of soil types, slope, aspect to the sun, and microclimate giving each vineyard its own identity. While this variety adds multiple dimensions to our wines, it also presents an opportunity for us to further celebrate the land in our Single Vineyard Series. We bottle the special flavors produced from one particular vineyard in years when the fruit is of intense quality and such distinctive character that it demands to stand alone as a pure expression of terroir.

When the stars and the moon and the good fairies conspire to bless us, we are left standing with eyes-wide and heart pounding before a barrel of wine we call “Reserve”. The result of perennial nurturing of vine balance by our vineyard managers, meticulous winemaking, and the favor of gods, these wines are our highest expression of the land.
