Puccioni
Vineyards is run by Glenn Proctor and his wife, Laurie. Glenn is
the fourth California
generation of
Puccioni winegrowers in California. He has been in the wine
business, outside
his family’s activities, for almost 26 years. He
attended Healdsburg High School,
C.S.U. Fresno for his Bachelors in Viticulture and
then U.C. Davis for his Master's Degree in Viticulture – taking
all the winemaking courses
he could along the way. Glenn started his career by working with
Glen Ellen Winery and Benziger Family Winery in the late
80’s and at BV
and Sterling where he was the Vice President of Winegrowing,
working with all the BV and Sterling wines and grapes. In 2003 he joined
the Ciatti Company,
where he is a Partner.
Glenn’s
dream has always been to make wine from his family’s ranch. When
Glenn was a young boy he worked every weekend with his grandfather,
Louie Puccioni, in the vineyard. Grandpa
taught him the "hows and whys" of the wine and grape business,
and with the release of Puccioni Vineyards "Old Vine"
Zinfandel,
he can now showcase
all that
he has learned. |
