“There is always a story in every place, and in every man's life. The idea that a single piece of land could be exploited to its potential for the cultivation of high quality wine grapes. With the vision and passion to create wines unlike any other." — Salvatore Turdo

In 1998, Sal Turdo set out with a vision. Since then, his winery has welcomed thousands of visitors. He believes that you have to prove yourself every year with every vintage. Sal has been doing so since his first vintage of Turis wines was released in 2002. Establishing Turdo Vineyards as one of New Jersey’s most distinctive wineries. The vineyard and winery is known for producing many varieties of wines not easily found on this side of the Atlantic.

Sal’s Italian varieties are rapidly increasing in popularity and demand. Most of Sal’s Sangiovese, Nebbiolo, Barbera, and Dolcetto varieties are sold even before the wine is bottled. But the Nero D’Avola is what Turdo Vineyard’s is known for. This exquisite Sicilian variety is one of Italy’s most renowned, and Sal’s personal favorite.  But, this variety isn’t easy to find. In fact, Turdo Vineyards is one of only a few growers and producers of this variety in North America!!!
