Please visit our grapes page on our website to learn more about each individual grape varietal. Under WINERY- Our Grapes

Can I visit the vineyard to pick my own grapes? At this time we do not offer take home grape picking as all of our grapes go into our house made wines. However, if you come in the months of May, June, July & August you may be able to grab a grape off the vine to sample as we do allow folks to walk through the vineyard & these are the months in which the grapes are at their ripest, but beware there are still seeeds in the grapes.

Is your wine Gluten Free? Our wines are not considered Gluten Free, we do not personally add any protein or wheat products into our wines however, we cannot guarantee that other wines that we blend with from other suppliers do not include Gluten products.

Are your wines Vegan? Our wines are not Vegan certified, all ingredients used to date in our wines are animal byproduct free. However, we cannot guarantee that other wines that we blend with from other suppliers do not include animal byproducts.

Are there sulfates in your wines? Yes, we do add a small amount of potassium sulfites to our wine to help with the preservation of our wine.

What benefits are there to adding sulfates to your wine? Sulfates act as both a wine’s preservative and enhancer, many vintners purposely add sulfates at key moments of the winemaking process to quickly halt on-going fermentation or to help protect the wine against potential oxidation or bacterial exposure which could occur at various stages of the winemaking process.

How long does your wine last when stored correctly? Generally speaking, all Fiorelli Winery wines are ready for drinking when purchased. Muscadine wine is generally intended for early enjoyment which means that they have wonderful fresh, fruity characteristics which diminish with age. We recommend that our wines be consumed within 3-5 years after they are bottled to enjoy them at their absolute best.

Do you add sugar to ferment the wine or just to sweeten for bottling? Yes, we add sugar during the fermentation process, all of our wines are fermented to dryness, where all the fermentable sugar is consumed by the yeast. Additional sugar is added to our semi-sweet wines (except blueberry) prior to bottling, this achieves the desired level of sweetness in the finished product.

Do you sell wooden barrels? We do not use wooden barrels in our wine making process as all our wines are fermented in stainless steel. However, we do have plastic food grade barrels available for purchase. Please call us at 941-322-0976 to purchase these barrels.

Do you sell empty or used bottles? At times we do, it depends on what we have on hand at the time. Please call us at 941-322-0976 to inquire about purchasing empty wine bottles.
