Al Borgo: New Grape Varieties & Sustainable Wine Production

Al Borgo will be the first winery in Canada to produce wine using these new grape varieties, setting it apart in the wine estate industry. These varieties are naturally more resistant to pests, requiring fewer pesticides to grow and thrive. The result is prestigious, refined wines crafted from healthier, more sustainable grapes.


In another Canadian first, Al Borgo has planted cold-tolerant, disease-resistant vines capable of withstanding winter temperatures as low as –24°C. The winery’s first three varietals will be Sauvignon Rytos, Cabernet Volos, and Soreli. These innovative varieties are now showcase in our retail store; this is the winery’s commitment to quality and sustainability.

Our Vintages

We’re proud to be the first winery in Canada to plant and produce wine from three newly VQA‑approved grape varieties. In June 2025, Ontario expanded its certified list to include Sauvignon Rytos, Soreli FPS, and Cabernet Volos FPS; all now growing at Al Borgo Estates. These exciting additions reflect our commitment to innovation, sustainability, and exceptional taste. Each variety brings its own unique character and terroir-driven expression—ideal for wine lovers seeking exclusive, estate-grown

MOSCATO ROSA 2024

A charming sparkling rosé with a pale pink hue and lively bubbles. Bursting with orange blossom, peach, tropical notes, honey, it offers a fruity palate  of candied citron and brioches balanced by refreshing acidity. Moscato Rosa delights on warm days or festive occasions. Crafted using the Charmat method, Al Borgo’s sparkling wines reflects old world tradition and precision wine making.

PINOT GRIGIO 2024

Excellent as an aperitif, pairs perfectly with salads and grilled vegetables, fresh cheeses, white meats, baked and grilled fish. Serve @ 10°C.

BACO RESERVE 2023

Our 2023 vintage started slow,  followed by a cool summer, but a dry, warm extended fall allowed us to fully ripen the grapes to create this incredible reserve. Deep ruby red with intense and elegant aromas of black pepper, toast, vanilla, leather, blackberry, and blueberry. Dry with good body and soft curves. Pairs well with grilled meat, aged cheeses, and pasta. Serve 15-18°C. 

FIORE DI VIGNA 2024

Fiore Di Vigna shines a bright yellow with golden hints, offering fresh aromas of citrus blossom, green apple, and tropical fruit. Crisp citrus and stone-fruit flavors mingle with a touch of minerality, finishing clean with subtle spice. Sauvignon Rytos adds zesty freshness and herbaceous lift, while Soreli brings richness and smooth texture. Limited to 1,850 bottles.

SAUVIGNON RYTOS 2023

Al Borgo Estates is proud to offer the first Canadian Sauvignon Rytos. The offspring of Sauvignon Blanc and Bianca, this modern variety is distinguished by excellent disease resistance and great quality fruit.

NOBILISSIMA 2023

$23.95

A pale straw sparkle with fine bubbles and fresh aromas of green apple, citrus, and florals. The crisp palate offers apple and pear, finishing clean with bright acidity. Perfect for celebrations or everyday moments, and pairs beautifully with seafood, salads, ripe fruit, or fruit-based desserts.


Frankie Two Squirrels

When Frankie came from Italy to Al Borgo Estates, he found two orphaned squirrels curled up in an old wine crate. He fed them, cared for them, and they made the vineyard their home. From that day on, they followed him through the rows, watching over the vines as he watched over them. This wine is a tribute to their unlikely friendship and the magic that grows when you care deeply for the land and its creatures.
