  • History of Iozzo’s

◦ Katie Harris’ great-grandfather came to America (1905) and began a family, a grocery story and a restaurant in Indianapolis (1916).

  • New wine launched, Santora’s Sangiovese

◦ In 1905, Santora Iozzo, just 17 years old, journeyed to the United States to realize his American Dream.

◦ By 1916, his young family made Indianapolis their home and shared the best of Italy with their grocery store and restaurant.

◦ One-hundred years later, in 2016, Iozzo’s great granddaughter Harris and her restaurant staff took their own journey to California to blend the perfect wine – Santora’s Sangiovese – to honor her family’s legacy.
