The Story Behind Yehudit
Yehudit, meaning Judith in Hebrew, is dedicated to the winemaker’s mother, a woman of quiet strength, unwavering devotion, and endless care. She has always been a grounding presence, gently guiding her son to find balance in all he does, ensuring he doesn’t burn out while pursuing his dreams.
The wine reflects her essence: classic, elegant, and understated, yet profound and impactful once discovered. Like the timeless pairing of Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon, Yehudit balances rustic charm with refined grace, a tribute to the enduring bond between mother and son.
