When Ralph Pugliese and his wife Patricia purchased the property, it was open farmland. Ralph began planting grapevines simply for his own enjoyment, but as friends and neighbors continued to ask for his wine, what started as a personal project grew into something much more. Today, Pugliese Vineyards spans 55 acres, making it one of the oldest vineyards on the North Fork. All of the wines are estate grown and bottled, with a special reputation for sparkling wines, ports, Sangiovese, and Pinot Grigio.
