La vo' ro n. [Latin.] labor, work.
O'ro n.[Latin.] gold.
Our work is our passion Our passion is gold.
We have been crafting wine in Northern California for the past ten years. Along our winemaking journey we envisioned starting a small label where we could tailor the wine to our own, very specific tastes. A winemaker's wine so to speak. In 2005 our dream became a reality when we founded LAVORO.
LAVORO embodies our collaborative wine knowledge, hard work, and vision of making wines that are distinctive, complex, and cerebral. Wines that are not flashy or trendy but pure, honest expressions of our love for the grape, the place they are grown, and our work as winemakers.
Often times the wine industry is represented as romantic and easygoing. Although that's the case when we enjoy the fruits of our labor, the truth is that winemaking is hard work. Whether it's working year long in the vineyards ensuring the best quality fruit is being grown, or working long hours during harvest caring for the wines, winemaking is a labor-intensive craft. What calls us back each season and makes it special to us is the renewed interest in creating wines that express the year's bounty of hard work, good times, and great friends and family. We've come to realize that our work has, indeed, become our passion.
