HEARTS DELIGHT Q&A
Q: What’s something you’re passionate about outside of work?
A:
Our family is devoted to all things baseball. Our newest Little League season is off and running, and Massimo is coaching our two boys’ team. The Giants are our beloved home team, but sometimes work trips turn into baseball trips, so our family has added visits to Fenway, Wrigley, Dodger Stadium to our list of favorite parks. The UC Davis baseball team helped push through Massimo’s college admission back in the day, as he played a lot in high school. But, then, he got an A+ in his Intro to winemaking class, and the rest is history.
Q: How do you stay inspired and motivated in your daily life?
A:
Keeping up with our two boys (7 and 9) is a constant lesson in humility, a reminder to stay active, and gives us a reason to laugh every day.
Q: Do you have a personal connection with heart disease and/or stroke that you would like to share?
A:
I lost my dad to a heart attack when he was just 46. I’ll be 46 next year. Living a healthy and full life, and working to make the world a better place for our family and those around us, is how I can honor his memory.

Di Costanzo’s passionate focus is single-vineyard, age-worthy wines, crafted by partners in wine and in life, Erin and Massimo Di Costanzo. Established in 2010 in the Napa Valley, Di Costanzo believes great wine begins with unshakably high standards for their selection of heritage vineyard sites, sustainably farmed, and is achieved through careful and soulful winemaking in the cellar.
Founders Erin and Massimo Di Costanzo were inspired to develop their eponymous wine brand after seeing there was room at the table for Napa and Sonoma wines that embrace restraint and balance and which highlight the savory and minerally qualities found in select, heritage vineyard sites. Erin’s background is as a fine wine professional, with a career working as a Certified Sommelier in New York City and Napa Valley, and as an award-winning wine retail and winery consultant. Massimo studied winemaking at UC Davis, and honed his skills working at such houses as Tignanello, Ovid and Screaming Eagle.
“In just over a decade, Erin and Massimo Di Costanzo have established themselves as elite producers of classically leaning, old-school inspired wines.” – Antonio Galloni, Vinous
