About Castello di Amorosa
Castello di Amorosa in Italian is “The Castle of Love.” This architectural masterpiece is an authentically built, 14th century Tuscan castle winery with high walls, five defensive towers, and 30 acres of estate vineyards. It was built over a 14-year period by Dario Sattui, a fourth-generation winemaker. After decades of studying medieval castles in Italy, Sattui commenced building in 1993. The Castello evolved to include 136,000 square feet with107 distinct rooms including rooms for winemaking and wine storage. The Castello, however, is merely a backdrop to showcase some of the Napa Valley’s best wines. The vineyards surrounding the Castello are planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Primitivo, and Sangiovese grapes. Castello di Amorosa is located at 4045 Highway 29, just 5.5 miles north of St. Helena on the left. For more information, visit www.castellodiamorosa.com or 707-967-6272
