Enrico Coturri (1883-1968)
Enrico Coturri literally came to America with $10 in his pocket - he worked as a barrel cooper when he first arrived in San Francisco - and helped rebuild the city after the Earthquake of 1906. Enrico taught his son Red the same traditional methods of winemaking he knew from the old country. |

Harry "Red" Coturri (1917-1997)
RED started Coturri Winery in 1979 with his sons Tony and Phil. Red learned how to make wine during Prohibition and the great depression from his father Enrico, who immigrated to America from Farneta, Italy (outside of Lucca) in 1901. |

Tony Coturri
Tony is a third generation winemaker. He has been making wine since 1964 and is now apprenticing his son Nic in the same winemaking traditions. |

Phil is a lifelong farmer and is considered Sonoma Valley's leading organic viticulturalist, with over 400 acres of vines certified with the CCOF.
