Castello di Amorosa in Calistoga is expanding its pinot noir portfolio

The Calistoga winery purchased a 12-acre pinot noir vineyard on Pillow Road in Sonoma County’s Russian River in the Green Valley appellation.

With this acquisition, Castello di Amorosa expands its presence in California’s renowned North Coast wine region to include 33 acres planted to pinot noir in vineyards located in a number of key American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) including a 12-acre vineyard in Boonville, a 4-acre vineyard in the Sonoma Coast and a 5-acre vineyard in Los Carneros.

Castello di Amorosa, a family-owned business, produces white and red wines as well as proprietary Italian-inspired blends, including Il Barone, La Castellana, and Il Passito.

Following fourteen years of construction, Dario Sattui opened Castello di Amorosa in April of 2007. Situated in the hills above Calistoga, the castle winery was made with brick, wood and iron imported from Europe and combined with over 8,000 tons of local Napa Valley stone. Today, Castello di Amorosa, a popular Napa Valley destination, offers a variety of wine tastings and winery tours in a unique Tuscan castle setting. (www.castellodiamorosa.com.)
