Birichino is a small, California-based beverage producer focused on crafting wine. Building on the founders’ collective decades of experience from notable vineyards in California and Europe, the company currently makes three wines under the Birichino Wines label, including a highly aromatic Malvasia Bianca, an old vine Grenache from an ungrafted vineyard planted in 1910, and a Provencal-inspired pink from ancient ungrafted vines dating to around 1886. The wines are produced with the aim of delivering fragrance, balance, and a distinctive, playful character to their consumers. Based in Santa Cruz, California, the business operates within the beverage manufacturing industry and targets customers who appreciate expressive, site-driven wines with historical vineyard roots. Birichino’s formation stems from co-founders and winemakers Alex Krause and John Locke, who previously contributed to Bonny Doon Vineyard and other renowned wine ventures, and the company continues to emphasize wines that reflect a combination of aromatic sensibility and poised complexity.
