Meet Your Winemakers

Al "Aldo" Carpenter

Al always had a passion for European culture. Growing up the history, foods and especially the wines stood out to him.

He spent many summers with Nanny, his Italian Grandmother, his Aunt Nancy and Uncle Frank and his Uncle Rocco. Al watched the process in which they made their wine and was amazed by it all. 

Through the years, Aldo worked to improve his families recipe. His attention to detail and comittment to family roots is what has driven his winemaking. When Al was introduced to the Portuguese culture, The Ferreira-Carpenter Winery was created.
​Jorge is a first-generation immigrant who was born in Portugal and raised in France until he was six years old. When his family settled in America they visited Portugal every year to help with the harvest of the grapes on the family vineyards

​That is what now fuels his passion of an agricultural lifestyle and the art of wine making.
He is very excited to be taking part in this venture with his cousin and winemaker Al Carpenter.
