We are a family business built on generations of experience in the wine industry. It all started with Bill’s Nonno, a cooper. Giacamo “Giac” Isetta excelled at his craft, expertly shaping wine barrels in the 1920s. Bill’s father, Andy Isetta, continued the tradition working at the Christian Brothers Winery and later starting a small winery of his own- Old Pioneer Wine Company of San Francisco. Marilyn’s father, Ray Hulmer, also worked at the Christian Brother Winery as the treasurer and controller for 35 years. It was at the Christian Brothers Winery at Mount La Salle that young Bill and Marilyn’s families met. 

Now, our family lives and works in the Sonoma Valley where the Good Lord has blessed our family with a great life and the fulfillment of a dream… making great wines that honor our family name and ancestors who blazed the Sonoma-Napa wine trials. 

Our wines are driven by the outstanding work of our vineyard producers, and great friends, including the Sangiacomo, Cuneo, Mulas, Petroni, Serres, Kunde, Cuneo and Stemach families. The pristine grapes from our partners combined with the immeasurable talent of our rising star winemaker Ryan Kunde, result in award winning wines. 

We look to produce wines that are fruit forward, luscious, and ready to open upon release. We focus on limited production, producing Sparkling Wine (Il Vino Frizzante) Sauvignón Blanc,  Rosê, Chardonnay, Red Blend, Pinot Noir, and Cabernet Sauvignon.  Our winemaker’s goal is to balance rich sensuous textures and compelling fruit with the character and complexity that comes from the grapes grown here in the Sonoma Valley. 

Capo, Italian for "Chief," is the product of the hard work of family and friends and we hope you enjoy the fruits of our labor.

In drinking our Capo Wines, you will find the true meaning of the Latin phrase “in Vino Veritas” - “In Wine there is truth.”

Grazie and Salute!

Bill, Marilyn, and Dominic Isetta, Proprietors
