Bernardo Winery to step up production
California-based Bernardo Winery will add new stainless steel tanks and oak wine barrels this spring to expand its wine production capacity.
The company plans 40-50% growth, from 4,000 gallons to a maximum of 6,500 gallons annually. Majority of the wines produced in Bernardo will be red wines, reported Pomerado News.
Bernardo Winery president and winemaker Ross Rizzo said most of the expansion will be in the warmer climate varieties, especially red wines that use a grape called Nero d'Avola that is often found in southern Italy, Sicily and grows well in San Diego.
The company plans to collect the grapes for red wine in September 2012, then mature the grape juice in tanks and barrels for 12 to 18 months and then age it in bottles for nine to 12 months and finally store for two to three years before releasing.
