Celebrating 30 years of winemaking, Mitch Cosentino and Fred Couples launched Couples & Co., a small producer of wines designed to accompany fine world cuisine.

pureCru Napa Valley began as what Cosentino refers to as “a winemakers wine project,” and has evolved into a venture that takes Cosentino back to his roots. “I had been reminiscing about a small, hands-on entity where I could do it all myself again, like I did in the beginning.”

Couples & Co.


Champion golfer Fred Couples and award-winning winemaker Mitch Cosentino have teamed up to form Couples & Co, a wine brand that celebrates a shared Italian heritage and fine, limited-production wine. After an in-depth tasting of preliminary blends with Cosentino in 2008, Couples knew he had found the right partner. “We are producing limited production wines designed to accompany fine world cuisine. But wine that also works artistically and stands on its own.” Mitch Cosentino
