SUMMARY:La Vita Release Party
DESCRIPTION:Wine is about more than grapes\, it’s art\, community\, and connection. As an homage to our Northern Italian roots\, Bargetto Winery grows three Italian varietals at Regan Vineyards in Corralitos: Dolcetto\, Nebbiolo\, and Refosco. For 25 years now\, we have thoughtfully blended these grapes to produce our flagship wine\, La Vita. Each year\, we select a work of art to use as our label for that vintage of La Vita. The only rule is that the label art must involve wine. As times change\, so does the art on our bottles\, a reflection of the world around us. Mirroring the thoughtfulness with which we create La Vita\, we select a local non-profit to which we donate proceeds from La Vita sales. Bargetto Winery is extremely excited to announce our next beneficiary of the La Vita program and will reveal the organization at the release party on June 7 th \, 2026. The 2022 La Vita has been carefully aging for nearly four years now: two in barrel and two in bottle\, and we’re thrilled to share it with you. Buy your tickets now to attend the release party\, try our previous vintages of La Vita\, enjoy live music and hear about the world of wine\, art\, and community. \nBargetto Winery is happy to allocate 25 La Vita Release Party tickets to members of the Santa Cruz Museum of Natural History at the same pricing as the winery’s Wine Club member tickets. To purchase tickets at member pricing\, use the coupon code “MuseumWine” at checkout under “Order Details\,” but be sure to select a “general” ticket using the link below.\nhttps://bargetto.orderport.net/product-details/0665/la-vita-release-party
