About this Item
Dalla Cia's story began in the 1920s when Vittorio Dalla Cia, a wine merchant, started the first Dalla Cia Distillery which grew into one of the biggest producers of Grappa in Italy. In 1974, Vittorio's son, Giorgio, moved to South Africa with his family and worked at Meerlust Estate for 25 years. He was a pioneer in the creation of Bordeaux-style blends in South Africa and in founding the first Grappa Distillery on a South African Wine Estate. Giorgio established Dalla Cia in 2001 and has built a brand which stands for age-old Italian tradition and passion for innovation.
Giorgio Dalla Cia is the name of the founder, an award-winning winemaker who has done so much not only for his company, but for the entire wine-growing reality of Stellenbosch. The Giorgio red wine is made up of 63% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot and 14% Petit Verdot.
