Magnificent Italian castle in Napa

#bucketlistreboot "Castello di Amorosa in Italian is “The Castle of Love. This architectural masterpiece is an authentically built, 13th 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 1994. The Castello evolved to include 136,000 square feet, 107 distinct rooms, (of which 95 are used for winemaking or wine storage) The Castello, however, is a backdrop to showcase some of the Napa Valley’s best wines. The vineyards are planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Primitivo, and Sangiovese grapes. Winery tours and Wine Tastings await."
