Joseph Ciriello from Cerbiona Brunello Estate in Montalcino will be present pouring rare bottles from the renowned cellar all night.

It's become more and more difficult to find these wines anywhere, as well as visiting the wine estate in person.

From an only 3-hectare production, the retired Alitalia pilot Diego Molinari and his wife Nora's vision to find their bucolic estate on the ridge east of Montalcino started in the seventies. They truly created wines that are deserving of the reverence they receive. They sold their winery in 2015, but Cerbaiona wines have maintained their elegance.

We so look forward to having them with us in Napa!

When we think of Lombardia, we think of Franciacorta and of Cantina Le Marchesine, a small and innovative wine estate that is one of the most prestigious in its league in the Lombardy region.

The excellent Franciacorta producing job is something the Biatta family passes on from one generation to the next. Giovanni Biatta, the forefather of “Le Marchesine”, acquired in 1985 the first three hectares in the Franciacorta area.

For at least five generations, the family has nurtured its one and only true passion: wine excellence.

Under the expert guidance of his father Giovanni, Loris Biatta with his children Alice and Andrea, now take care of the vineyard and the cellar. From its initial three hectares, the company vineyard has extended reaching 47 hectares, registered in the DOC and DOCG lists.

An Evening with Penfolds at A16 Napa

Join us for a special night with Penfolds and Winemaker Andrew Baldwin, who will be on hand pouring and sharing stories from his 38 years crafting some of Penfolds’ most celebrated wines.

Born and raised in South Australia’s Eden Valley, Andrew has shaped vintages across the globe—most recently leading Penfolds’ California collaborations. Enjoy exceptional wines by the glass, Southern Italian-inspired A16 pairings, and a few playful nods to Australian cuisine. With A16 Napa co-founder Kitty Oestlien, an Aussie herself, this evening brings a true taste of Australia to Napa—a one-night celebration of craftsmanship, heritage, and discovery.

On Sunday, October 19, we are excited to welcome Cantina 𝐂𝐢𝐫𝐨 𝐁𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐢 to A16 Rockridge for an evening of Sicilian flavors from the slopes of Mount Etna.

Vintner Ciro Biondi will be on site to share stories and insights of the family estate.

Ciro Biondi’s family has owned vineyards on the southern side of Mt. Etna since at least 1800, and first sold bottled wine under their label a century ago. Ciro, an architect by training, and his wife Stef began their wine making journey in 1999, cultivating three vineyards near the small town of Trecastagni, using the family’s old stone palmento. The steep terraces that make up each of Ciro’s three vineyards are iconic. Immediately you have a sense you’ve been here before, but of course it’s only through images you’ve stumbled upon in years past. Like most of Etna the black volcanic soil is evident, falling through your hands like sand when you pick it up. Toward the very top of the steep terraces the soil and rocks turn a Mars-like red. Ciro’s discovered the need to limit his input into the winemaking decisions and do everything he can to let the place speak as honestly as possible, with the very lightest touch. As Ciro reminds us, nature is so much more powerful than he is; his best work over the years has come from recognizing that truth.

Biondi’s cellar and three single vineyards are on the south-east slope of Etna. Despite the regions of Passopisciaro and Terre Nere in the North garnering a bit more attention, historically the south side was better known than the north. South Etna tends to produce wines that are more subtle, more Pinot-like, than its Northern counterparts, and are often paler in color. The microclimate, unique to the foothills of this region of Etna, coupled with the diversity of its sandy, mineral-rich volcanic soil make Biondi’s wines a compelling contribution to one of the most intriguing wine regions of Italy - if not the world.
