Guided by the idea that “less is more,” this wine is dry and fresh, with crisp fruit flavors and bright minerality. Some of our grapes come from family vineyards in Napa Valley, with the majority coming from Suisun Valley, a “hidden gem” wine region only a short drive from Napa. Suisun shares a similar maritime climate and produces exceptional fruit. Our farming practices enable us to create a wine that is not overly ripe – while also not herbaceous – featuring low alcohol and bright acidity.
Our Story
Born into two longstanding wine families in Napa Valley, winemaker Jenny Wagner inherited a love of farming, an eagerness to get her hands dirty and a willingness to push boundaries.
What inspired the name Emmolo?
Emmolo is the name of my mom’s side of the family, which has a long farming history in Napa Valley. My mom, Cheryl Emmolo, has no brothers and wanted to keep the name alive. She dreamed of making wine using family vineyards, and I feel very fortunate that she passed the reins on to me. When I showed my first wine (produced in 2011) to my grandparents, it was very emotional for all of us.
“Wine is an experience, and I want it to be special. I want people to feel as excited as I am.”
— Jenny Wagner, winemaker
- Nose: Fresh and clean, with white peach, wet stone, clementine and other
citrus notes.
Palate: Bright lemon blossom on entry, with additional echoes of peach.
Smooth texture, lasting freshness and a mouthwatering finish leave you
wanting another sip.
Style differentiator: The wine is not overly ripe – while also not
herbaceous – featuring low alcohol and vibrant acidity.
Showcasing an agricultural gem: Most of our grapes come from Suisun
Valley, a little-known but exceptional wine region just a short drive from
Napa. Located within Solano County, Suisun Valley shares a similar
maritime climate to Napa, with warm days and cool nights ideal for
Sauvignon Blanc.
Farming notes: We use vineyard techniques to ensure ideal sunlight during
the growing season, which eliminates any herbaceous character while
achieving a perfect level of ripeness.
Suggested food pairings from winemaker Jenny Wagner: Salads, grilled
fish or a family favorite – pea soup. Jenny also enjoys this wine on its own
