RIDGE ROAD ESTATE WINERY

One of the first sibling winemaking teams in Niagara, Mauro Scarsellone and Anna Gottardo, is now celebrating 22 years in Niagara. Focusing on Old World Italian traditions, this duo planted Nebbiolo and Corvina among their vineyard and is one of a handful of Ontario wineries making wine in the Appassimento and Ripasso styles. These wines accompany perfectly their casual Italian food offered in Ridgepoint’s restaurant. RIDGEPOINT WINES
