Rotta Winery, founded in 1908 by the Rotta Family, is the only remaining family owned “original” winery in San Luis Obispo County. Mike Giubbini, grandson to the Rotta Family & Mark Caporale of Napa, have combined their talents to “bring back to life” the historic and rustic winer.Today, the Rotta label is being revived by one of their grandsons, Michael Giubbini, who remembers long, happy days of working in the vineyard as a child when he visited his grandparents from his home in Menlo Park. He fell in love with the area, so after graduating from high school, he attended Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo, and has been here ever since.

The 20-acre Rotta estate vineyard has 15 acres in Zinfandel and five in Cabernet Sauvignon. Until 2002 -- the first that Giubbini kept the fruit for the Rotta label -- the grapes went into the wines of nearby Castoro Cellars, where the Zinfandel enjoyed a prestigious "Giubbini Vineyard" designate label.

Now the Rotta label is focusing on red wines such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, Merlot, and Black Monukka– a dessert wine, Zinfandel Port, but white wines will also be appearing on the list as well. All of the fruit for the label will be sourced from local vineyards, especially those from the Westside. Giubbini is a strong believer in the potential of the Paso area, and particularly the Templeton region where their ancestors.
