BASSI VINEYARD, SLO COAST AVA
Scar of the Sea was established in 2012 and is owned and operated by Mikey & Gina Giugni in San Luis Obispo, CA. What began as a grassroots journey - leasing small coastal vineyard sites - has grown into a deeper relationship between farming and the land.
In July 2024, Mikey and Gina found their forever farm - the 29-acre Bassi Vineyard in Avila Beach, nestled in the heart of the SLO Coast AVA, one mile from the Pacific Ocean. This coastal site, farmed using regenerative and biodynamic principles, is now their home vineyard. With it, they now steward 42 acres in total, over 4 different vineyard sites, with their small team.
All the wines are made naturally - with native yeast, no adjustments, and bottled unfiltered. They have embraced a solera system for their white wines - a quiet, evolving conversation between vintages and the passage of time.
Every wine is a reflection of place, an echo of the coast, and a story they're still learning to tell. They make wines for themselves first - pure, honest, and rooted in the beauty of the California Central Coast. The goal is simple - to share the story of the land through their wines.
