Cribari Vineyards

What Cribari Vineyards does

Cribari Vineyards (also operating as CVI Bulk Wine) is a Fresno, California-based family-owned bulk wine producer with a heritage spanning five generations. The company sources quality grapes from California wine-growing regions and produces a portfolio of bulk wines across standard (10-13.9% ABV), dessert, and fortified (17-18.5% ABV) categories, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Merlot, Burgundy, Chianti, Zinfandel, Madeira, Marsala, Port, and Sherry varieties. Its core operations rely on time-tested production processes and stainless steel tank storage under temperature-controlled conditions (52-72°F), with an 8-month shelf life guarantee on unopened 57-gallon drums.

The company sells exclusively through B2B channels, serving wineries, brand owners, food manufacturers, importers, and exporters. A differentiated offering is its salted Non-Beverage wine line, which allows food manufacturer customers to use wine as a food ingredient without incurring State and Federal Excise taxes or alcohol licensing obligations. Packaging is offered across a wide volume range, from 57-gallon drums and 260-gallon totes to 1,500-6,000 gallon tank trucks and 24,000-liter Flexi-Tanks for export. The company also provides In-Bond winery-to-winery transfers for tax-paid wine, nationwide shipping to food manufacturers, and custom bottling services for brand owner programs.

Cribari's revenue model is transaction-based, with bulk wine priced by the gallon (quote-based, not publicly disclosed) plus professional-services revenue from custom bottling. Lead times are standardized at 10 business days from purchase order. The company operates with 1-10 employees from a single corporate office in Fresno and maintains a limited digital footprint consisting primarily of its company website and bulk wine blog. No public revenue figures, funding rounds, acquisitions, or external investors are disclosed.
