Matt Trevisan and college roomie Justin Smith founded Linne Calodo together while studying at Cal Poly. While Justin went on to start Saxum, Matt continued to carefully carve out Linne Calodo’s destiny. Named after a soil type found in their estate vineyards, Linne Calodo is now synonymous with high-end Rhone blends, often with a splash of old-vine, dry-farmed Zin. You might say Matt’s winemaking style is a perfect blend of art, science, passion, and talent, with years of experience for good measure. Matt is the farmer, winemaker, cover crop sower, fix-it man, amateur electrician and sheep herder. The vineyards are cared for using “nature-positive farming”, giving back to the soil and reflecting the natural balance of the vine.
