Fratelli Perata

The Fratelli Perata story in this country begins when Giuseppe Antonio Perata moved to the United States from Italy in 1930. He was 16 years old. He joined his uncle to farm in Ventura County. But Ventura Brothers in the Flower Field, 1950’sJoe (Giu) quickly learned that while farming supported the family, it was winemaking that was at his heart. Wine well made in the manner of his father in the hills above Genoa, wine drunk with respect to the power of the wine, wine shared with family and friends. Now the brothers, Gino and Joe, seek to produce not just wine, but great wines.
