Signorello Estate
WINERY SUMMARY

Rising from the ashes with unprecedented determination, Signorello Estate exemplifies Napa Valley's most inspiring story of resilience and renewal. Following the devastating 2017 wildfires, this iconic Silverado Trail property has emerged stronger, combining four decades of viticultural wisdom with Pierre Birebent's innovative winemaking vision across 100 acres of diverse hillside terroir.
Founded in 1980 by Ray Signorello Sr. and Jr., the estate established its reputation through meticulous attention to site-specific winemaking and sustainable farming practices. Under Pierre Birebent's direction, Signorello continues this legacy while embracing modern techniques that honor the property's exceptional microclimates. The winemaker's French background brings Old World sensibility to distinctly Californian fruit, creating wines that bridge tradition with innovation. Birebent's philosophy centers on allowing each vineyard block's unique character to shine through minimal intervention winemaking.
Signorello's portfolio showcases the estate's commitment to ultra-premium quality across multiple varietals. The flagship Cabernet Sauvignon, sourced from 1990 plantings, demonstrates remarkable concentration and age-worthiness that positions these wines as investment-grade collectibles. Their Estate Chardonnay, produced from some of Napa's oldest vines planted in 1980, offers extraordinary complexity and longevity rare in California white wines. The Bordeaux-style blends incorporating Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Merlot, and Petit Verdot showcase the property's diverse terroir expressions. Limited production ensures exclusivity, with many releases available only through allocation to longstanding collectors and wine club members.
The newly rebuilt winery and tasting facilities offer an intimate glimpse into Signorello's renaissance story. Perched along the prestigious Silverado Trail, the contemporary architecture frames stunning vineyard vistas while incorporating sustainable design elements. Private tastings by appointment provide personalized experiences led by knowledgeable staff who share the estate's remarkable journey. The hillside location offers diverse exposures and elevations, creating distinct vineyard blocks that guests can explore during exclusive vineyard walks.
