A discovery of gold was reported in San Francisco newspapers, 1848. As our ancestors headed west with hopes of finding gold, so did Bellangelo in 2017.

Bellangelo's 2015 Gibson Vineyard Riesling returned home after winning a Double Gold Metal in The San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition. The Riesling grapes used to produce this wine are 100% from Gibson Vineyard, located just north of the winery on Seneca lake. It is just one of the small family owned vineyards that produces grapes for Bellangelo.

Bellangelo's 2015 Dry Riesling also stood on the winners podium after receiving a gold metal in the Bone Dry Riesling category. These are just two of many award winning Bellangelo wines.

We are proud to announce the accomplishments of these Rieslings, as they debut the winery's new head winemaker, Christopher Missick.
