The Debevino story traces back more than half a century to the Boston neighborhood of Roslindale, where three families related by ancestry and bonded by friendship learned the art and science of making wine in their cellars. They are the sons and grandsons of Italian immigrants who brought winemaking from Italy, where wine is a staple at every meal, and their history begins in rural southern Italian towns where volcanic soil and long sunny days nurture grape vines on the rolling foothills of the Apennine mountains. Al DeNapoli; John, Rich and Paul Bevilacqua; and Dom Arpino grew up with wine as part of their lives, working with crude but effective equipment. As boys they made the annual Columbus Day pilgrimage into Boston to help carry 36-pound boxes of grapes, then worked in the cellar before finishing with pulls on the cast iron handle of an ancient press.

The brand name Debevino is composed of the three family names DeNapoli, Bevilacqua and Arpino, and loosely translates from Italian to English as drink of wine. Three families and three generations now share that tradition and expertise. The winery pledges to build long-term relationships with customers through co-operative memberships, shared winemaking experiences, tastings and social events in a fun, interactive and educational setting. It produces red, white and rose wines from premium grapes sourced from Northern California vineyards, crushed, fermented, aged and bottled locally in Walpole, Massachusetts, using modern equipment and viniculture techniques alongside time-honored methods that minimize chemical agents and additives. Pop-up events with collaborative partners and special offers are part of its calendar.

For customers in Medfield and the surrounding area, Debevino pairs a multi-generational Italian winemaking heritage with a local tasting room, giving the town a family-run winery rooted in a tradition that began in Roslindale cellars.
