Apolloni

Apolloni is a winery in the Northern Willamette Valley. Alfredo Apolloni grew up in a winemaking family in Italy, and in 1999 he and his wife, Laurine, purchased Apolloni Vineyards while relocating from the Midwest. Laurine is an owner and general manager, while Alfredo is an owner and winegrower.

The 90-acre property includes 45 acres of LIVE-Certified, Salmon-Safe estate vineyards planted with Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Sangiovese and Nebbiolo. The vineyards occupy south-facing hillsides at elevations of 350 to 600 feet, with vines planted on disease-resistant rootstock. Fruit is hand-picked and sorted in small lots, then fermented and aged in French oak barrels. A wine cave with capacity for more than 400 barrels was added in 2013, allowing wines to age for an average of 14 months under year-round climate control.
