The Story
Our estate vineyards planted in 1990 on the Napa Valley hillsides east of the Silverado Trail provided the grapes. A variety of exposures increased the wines complexity. Western slopes: Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Eastern slopes: Cabernet Franc and a second Cabernet Sauvignon vineyard. Crop level and vine growth were closely monitored to achieve balance and intensify fruit character. The vineyards are densely planted and vertically trellised. The rocky soil with moderate amount of clay provides excellent drainage. Harvested: October 1st - 20th, 2010; Brix at Harvest: 26.5; Total Acidity: 0.59; pH: 3.77; Alcohol: 14.4%
About Signorello Estate
Producer Story
Signorello Estate was co-founded by father-son duo Ray Sr. & Ray Jr. Signorello. Their French-style wines are created from 100% estate grown Napa Valley fruit. Nestled in the southeastern corner of Napa Valley alongside the famed Silverado Trail, the estate is comprised of 42 planted acres (17 ha). The vineyard site is 100% hillside, varying in slope from gentle to steep, and is composed of well-drained volcanic rocks & soil.
Fruit is hand-picked & hand-sorted. Wines are fermented with native yeast & bottles without fining or filtration. Signorello's total production is less than 6,000 cases annually, & often much less.
