Antinori Napa Valley

The Antinori Napa Valley Estate was born from the dream of Marchese Piero Antinori to create a sublime expression of Napa Valley mountain terroir after his first visit to Napa Valley in 1966. Twenty years later, in 1986, the Marchese invested in Napa Valley: a 1,200-acre site of rugged high-elevation terrain in a remote corner of the Vaca Mountain range, the finest parcels of which he transformed into immaculate vineyards over the past 37 years.

The Vineyards

Rugged terrain, perched up to 1,800 feet above the Napa Valley floor, that reminded Marchese Piero Antinori of the Tignanello vineyard in his home in Chianti Classico, which lies at the same elevation. Planted to Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Chardonnay and six other grape varieties, the vineyards are planted directly on the steep Atlas Peak Mountain slopes. They rest upon of an ideal southwest-facing hummock of weathered volcanic rock, bathing them in direct sunlight throughout the growing season. The vineyards sit above the fog line, where the cooling influence of the high elevation and fresh air current coming off the San Francisco Bay create a long, slow growing season. This combination of elements creates wines of elegance and nuance, reflective of their foundation and capable of extended cellaring.
