Artistic Blends, Wine Pack
Wine has long been known as a drinkable artform. Here at the Castello we consider our winemaking an art. In addition to our wine, we have a bevy of Tuscan-inspired frescoes throughout the Castle. We like to think we are crafting the same type of art that adorns the Castle walls in every bottle at Castello di Amorosa.
Wine blends often deliver increased complexity and can be more interesting than single varietal wines. Blending gives the advantage and potential of adding complexity to the resulting wine and provides a tapestry of multiple flavors and aromatics. It also offers an opportunity to achieve balance and gives our winemakers the freedom to make the very best wine possible. Every year the blends used to make our Castello wines is unique.

♦ One bottle of 2018 Quattro, Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, after harvesting Cabernet Sauvignon from 4 of the Castello's top vineyards, a small quantity from each was left over due to the 4 intended fermentation vessels coming full. Knowing that the fruit was all of great quality, he decided to ferment the leftovers together in a single small tank. Upon tasting the wine just as the fermentation was finishing up, we knew something special had occurred, and we proclaimed that the "Quattro" warranted a unique bottling. No blending has been done with this wine since that fateful day the grapes were plucked from the 4 distinct vineyard sites from across the Napa Valley.
