Oakville, Dalla Valle Vineyards
Dalla Valle Vineyards is recognized as one of Napa Valley’s preeminent family-run wineries. Founded in 1986 by Naoko and her late husband Gustav Dalla Valle, on the famed eastern hillsides of Oakville, Dalla Valle Vineyards has earned acclaim as one of world’s most celebrated wine estates, yielding wines of extraordinary character and complexity, vintage after vintage.
Today, Dalla Valle is guided by the mother-and-daughter team of Naoko and Maya Dalla Valle, who work alongside an illustrious team that includes Consulting Winemaker Andy Erickson, Vineyard Manager Edgar Alfaro, as well as Consulting Enologist Michel Rolland. With a shared mission that Dalla Valle thrive for generations to come, this dedicated group stewards every aspect of the viticulture and winemaking with a level of meticulous care and detail reserved for the great First Growths.
THE 2022 VINTAGE: The 2022 growing season commenced with a dry January and February, leading to an early budbreak in early March due to mild temperatures and scant rainfall. This early start was followed by a warm April and tempered by a cool and rainy May.
Bloom occurred at the end of April, while the first signs of veraison emerged in early July. The fluctuating temperatures, ranging from cool and foggy to hot and dry, extended veraison for nearly a month. A warm August transitioned into a sweltering early September, marked by a ten-day heatwave that hastened the vineyard’s ripening. Thanks to the expertise and commitment of our in-house farming team, we harvested everything swiftly and efficiently. The resulting 2022 wines reflect the site’s warmth and the vibrant character of the vintage.
