Third-generation winemaker Marisa Sergi creates Red’s Wine Brand, a small-batch label built around hands-on blending and bottling rather than corporate formula. The brand’s signature Red’s Blend pairs California Zinfandel and Malbec in a semi-sweet, spicy wine, alongside a fruit-forward Sweet Rosé. Sergi traces her winemaking tradition to grandparents who immigrated from Italy in 1953, carrying their craft with them.
