YOUNG GUN OF WINE

In 2023, Sam was listed in the TOP WINEMAKERS in the YOUNG GUNS OF WINE

“Samuel Renzaglia developed the di Renzo range under his family’s eponymous wine label. That label is based out of their Bathurst vineyard in the O’Connell Valley, while the di Renzo wines are made from fruit sourced from prime growers across the Central Ranges.
