Producer: Vinicola L.A. Cetto, Guadalupe
Vinicola L.A. Cetto is one of the oldest and most renowned wine producers in Mexico. Don Angelo Cetto arrived in Baja California in 1926 as an Italian immigrant from the Veneto region. Coming from a family with a long tradition in winemaking, he dedicated his expertise to building an exceptional estate in Mexico. In 1957, Vinicola L.A. Cetto was founded, dedicating itself exclusively to producing quality wines. With approximately 1,200 hectares in Baja California, L.A. Cetto is one of Mexico's largest producers. Even Hugh Johnson, author of the legendary Wine Atlas, praised this winery and ranked it at the top of Mexico's quality wine producers. Today, the estate is managed in the third generation by Luis Alberto Cetto. The Valle de Guadalupe in northern Baja California benefits from a Mediterranean climate tempered by the Pacific Ocean – ideal conditions for international grape varieties with distinct terroir character.
