Farming

The Marioni Wine approach to farming follows the tenet that more in the vineyard = less in the cellar. Our mission is to prove that hand-farmed, intentional and sustainable farming practices lead to the highest quality wines. All our farming practices are organic and we are always striving to minimize sulfur applications and irrigation, while keeping the vines alive and happy in their space. We want to build diverse vineyard spaces in Sonoma, free of chemicals and pesticides. You could say that we’re revitalizing old vineyards, soil and microbiology in Sonoma one vineyard at a time. 

Since scaling back our vineyad management in 2022, we current farm and manage 6 acres scattered around Sonoma. This allows us to focus more on the individual needs of each vineyard and fine tune our approach. Begining in 2022 we've introduced seasonal sheep grazing to one of vineyards to control ground cover and begin the long and slow process of soil amendment.

A list of the old vineyards that went into all the wines before 2022 are listed below for reference.
