Janzen - Bacio Divino Cellars Collection

Several ski seasons at an upscale establishment in Switzerland can be blamed for introducing a young Claus Janzen  to fine wines, an encounter from which he will likely never recover. After transplanting his family from Winnipeg to Napa , he spent 12 years at Caymus , developing for Caymus  the most enviable international marketing operation in the Valley.  It was 1993 and wine had a twinkle in its eye.  On the sun and vine-dappled slopes of the Napa Valley, overlooking the town of St. Helena, Diane and Claus Janzen  took a chance. Possessed with an unshakable desire to create something of their ‘own’, and to make an impression both immediate and lasting, they embarked to produce a signature wine they could be proud to put their name on. A chance acquisition of some discarded Sangiovese grapes led to the first vintage of Bacio Divino and the realization of a family estate and as they say, the rest is history!
