In Italian, “Dono dal Cielo” means ‘Gift from Heaven’.
We are following our lifelong passion for that perfect balance of earth, sun and soil. Dono dal Cielo was born in 2002 with our first 6,000 Zinfandel vines planted on 7 acres. Secreted away in the graceful rolling hills of Newcastle. Dono dal Cielo means “A Gift from Heaven.” We welcome your family to become part of our Dono family!
VINEYARD TO TABLE…GRAPE TO GLASS
Our owner Mim describes their vineyard as “sitting at the bottom of a teacup” with a 360 degree view of the foothills. She says “it’s a phenomenon, a big growing garden that should be treated as a gift and how Dono will be a place for Newcastle to be proud of.
