Award Winning Wines

Our wines at Three Hills or, as they say in Italian, Tre Colline, are produced in the Italian style which tends to be lighter, fruit-forward. The wines are aged in French oak barrels from 18 to 36 months, depending on the wine. Our style aims to enhance the flavors of each grape varietal and not overpower the delicate aromas with more heavily toasted oaks. Our passion for wine and techniques for winemaking was developed over many years while traveling through the various wine regions of Italy. We have brought this passion for great wines to the San Diego Wine County in the hills of Ramona.

We currently produce 16 wines with a production of 1,800 gallons or about 10,000 bottles of wine per year, including 4 red varietals, 3 white varietals, 2 rosé, 3 red blends, 2 port-style dessert wines, Sangria, and one Italian liqueur.

Red varietals: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Zinfandel, and Syrah

White wines: Pinot Grigio, Picpoul Blanc, Sparkling Peach

Rosé wines: Ruby Rosé (zinfandel) & Sangiovese Rosé

Red blends: Vino Nobile - Super Tuscan (Sangiovese/Cabernet/Merlot Blend), Serenity Now (Zin / Syrah blend), World Peace (Cab / Merlot blend)
