Honoring Italian Heritage & Family
The Bonarrigo Family Wines invite you to take part in honoring the long-standing Italian heritage and family traditions that make Messina Hof the “First Family of Texas Wine.” We want you to experience the depth of our family’s labor of love, winemaking lineage, and steadfast dedication, from the matriarchs, winemaking history, and generational journeys to food, wine, and fellowship.
Seven Generations of Winemaking
The Bonarrigo Family began making wine in Messina, Sicily over 200 years ago. For seven generations, the Bonarrigos have produced wines full of passion and heart. With a tradition that started in Italy and took root in America, the family now crafts soulful wines in Texas honoring its Italian lineage.
The Heritage Series features wines that celebrate everything one would see in an Italian household: deep relationships built on love, dedication, hard work, and inspiration. They are intentionally crafted to be enjoyed around the table with friends and family. We encourage you to explore all the ways you can sip our wines with your favorite foods at our Pairings page.
Wines Crafted with Passion & heart
Our Bonarrigo Family Wines are prestigious Old-World style wines crafted from exclusively Italian grape varietals such as Trebbiano, Pinot Grigio, Sangiovese, Primitivo, and Sagrantino. Grown in Texas by experienced winemakers, each offering will take you by the hand and welcome you to our table.
Introducing the newest addition, Sparkling Sagrantino Rosé—the first of its kind in Texas wine! This sparkling wine softens the bold Sagrantino grape with delicate bubbles, unveiling bright notes of red plum, cranberry, and black tea with a refreshing, dry finish. Experience the versatility of Sagrantino and the delightful twist bubbles can bring!
