About Rashi
This Italian winery takes its name from one of the most celebrated Jewish winemakers. The Rashi winery is very proud of the method in which the grapes are selected by the master Italian vintners, who then take extreme care in the fermentation of the wine in huge oak casks. The wine room today is as it was generations ago, with the old oak casks lined up imperiously along faintly lit corridors. Rashi winery, adjusted to the needs of an ever more demanding and selective market, in which quality is an essential constant, a pre-requisite for a flawless, stable, homogeneous product. This means state-of-the-art equipment, and access to the most appropriate technologies. The new look, which stands alongside the old, rather than in its place, is one of shiny steel, and electronically-controlled, automatic processes, for past and future living together in a dynamic, efficient present capable of taking on the toughest competition in the acquisition of new markets. Rashi also produces quality wines from the great new wine regions of New York and California.
