Small lot, minimal intervention wines using unique grapes from some pretty special places
Filomena Wine Company
A small family-owned wine label founded by Luke Nio in 2014. Filomena is an outlet for Luke to experiment and express himself through his winemaking, and make some delicious wines along the way—at least we think so!
Sourcing
We strive to source grapes from sustainably farmed vineyards with many of our growing partners practicing organic methods and planting obscure, alternative varieties. Each wine we make is from a different AVA, showcasing a variety of terroir from across the state of California.
Why “Filomena”?
Filomena is a family name; it was his grandmother’s middle name and his great-grandmother’s first name. Luke wanted use the name for his label to honor the women that helped shape him. The image on the label is actually an old family photo (how could you not use that image?), and the date written on the back was 1926, right in the middle of Prohibition.
