Maddalena Wines is a Paso Robles and Monterey estate grown wine brand with a mission of making award winning wines, while keeping our commitment to the preservation of the environment and giving back to their communities.
Maddalena Riboli is a trailblazer. In 1947, she joined her husband, Stefano Riboli, in the family wine business. Through hard work & intelligence, she excelled in the male-dominated wine industry and opened one of the first tasting rooms in California. In 1983, she launched her namesake wine brand- Maddalena Wines. Her vision to invest in land led the family business to great success. Her family credits her with the fire that has led to the continued success of Riboli Family Wine Estates through the generations
Today, the Riboli family owns 1,400 vineyard acres across Paso Robles, Monterey, and Napa Valley. At 99 years old, she continues to inspire to serve the customer, reinvest in yourself, and always keep moving forward.
A noble variety bestowed with both power and concentration, Cabernet Sauvignon enjoys success all over the globe, its best examples showing potential to age beautifully for decades. Cabernet Sauvignon flourishes in Bordeaux's Medoc where it is often blended with Merlot and smaller amounts of some combination of Cabernet Franc, Malbecand Petit Verdot. In the Napa Valley, ‘Cab’ is responsible for some of the world’s most prestigious, age-worthy and sought-after “cult” wines. Somm Secret—DNA profiling in 1997 revealed that Cabernet Sauvignon was born from a spontaneous crossing of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc in 17th century southwest France.
The largest and perhaps most varied of California’s wine-growing regions, the Central Coast produces a good majority of the state's wine. This vast California wine district stretches from San Francisco all the way to Santa Barbara along the coast, and reaches inland nearly all the way to the Central Valley.
Encompassing an extremely diverse array of climates, soil types and wine styles, it contains many smaller sub-AVAs, including San Francisco Bay, Monterey, the Santa Cruz Mountains, Paso Robles, Edna Valley, Santa Ynez Valley and Santa Maria Valley.
While the Central Coast California wine region could probably support almost any major grape varietiy, it is famous for a few Central Coast reds and whites. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel are among the major ones. The Central Coast is home to many of the state's small, artisanal wineries crafting unique, high-quality wines, as well as larger producers also making exceptional wines.
