Castello di Amorosa is a winery located near Calistoga, California. The winery opened to the public in April 2007, as the project of a fourth-generation vintner, Dario Sattui, who also owns and operates the V. Sattui Winery named after his great-grandfather, Vittorio Sattui, who originally established a winery in San Francisco in 1885 after emigrating from Italy to California.[2][3]
The winery property was once part of an estate owned by Edward Turner Bale.[4] In 1993, Sattui purchased 171 acres (69 ha) for $3.2 million, then spent another $40 million to construct the castle, outbuildings, and the winery inside the castle; construction work began in 1995.[5]
During the Glass Fire that began on September 27, 2020, the farmhouse suffered major damage,[6] the entire 2020 vintage of the wine Fantasia was lost,[7] but the castle was left unharmed.[8]
