Furioso Vineyards is comprised of two Willamette Valley sites representing two famed Oregon grape growing American Viticultural Areas (AVAs): the Dundee Hills AVA and the Yamhill-Carlton AVA. Furioso Vineyard Dundee is a 10-acre site with 30+ year old vines, our winery, and the future formal tasting room (tastings are currently conducted in the residence located next to the winery). The residence on the property will be remodeled to host special dinners and eventually offer an intimate B&B experience from time to time for a few very lucky guests.

The much celebrated, sunny, south-facing slopes, formerly known as the much sought after Juliard Vineyard, are home to our current production blocks of Pinot noir. The Furioso team is also planting Chardonnay on property. Furioso Vineyard Yamhill is winemaking from scratch.  The second of our two Willamette Valley sites, this vineyard gives us a combined 90 acres as raw land and is gradually transforming into a showcase vineyard. Most of the plantings will be Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, with one notable exception.

Giorgio’s Heritage Block is a tribute to his homeland, featuring Friulano, a white wine grape varietal originally from the Friuli region of northern Italy. The New York Times has called Friulano “more distinguished” than Italy’s better-known Pinot Grigio, and also dubbed it “an Italian wine that makes friends easily.” Sounds like Giorgio, himself. While the grape is not entirely unknown among Willamette Valley vineyards, it is a rarity. Giorgio is excited to introduce this white wine to the community. Friulano should do well in the soils, elevations, and climate of our Yamhiill-Carlton AVA vineyard.
