Getting to know the Italian-American community in the Delaware Valley has brought me closer to my own roots. Many families who came from Italy generations ago have preserved traditions that even some Italians who grew up in big cities, like myself, never had the chance to experience directly. Among those traditions is the art of making wine, a craft that still thrives here through families like the Rizzos.
In the Wilmington area, the name Joseph Rizzo & Sons Construction Inc. is well known. But behind that business lies another family passion that has quietly endured for generations: winemaking. The Rizzo Family Winery, based in New Castle, tells a story of heritage, hard work, and family unity.
