Calistoga Wineries - Castello di Amorosa Winery
American Viticultural Area

This print by artist Kerne Erickson depicts the road leading out from Castello di Amorosa Winery in the Calistoga AVA of the Napa Valley AVA, located in the much larger North Coast AVA. The Calistoga AVA established in 2010 has over 24 wineries. Its soils are uniform throughout this AVA due to it being underlain by volcanic bedrock and sediments. Uniform soils throughout the region enable growers to control vine quality and produce consistent flavors and characteristics within small vineyard blocks. Calistoga AVA having an extreme diurnal swing in temperature from daytime to night time is very beneficial for the grapes which can cool at night after a warm day, allowing for more acid retention; better overnight recovery, thus better balanced wines.
