Foundation and Family History

Founded in 1982 by Gustav and Naoko Dalla Valle, this family estate has been cultivating excellence since its first vintage in 1986. After Gustav's passing in 1995, Naoko, supported by their daughter Maya, infused an ambitious and sustainable vision into the operation .

An Exceptional Terroir

Planted on 8 hectares of east-facing slopes (120–140 meters in altitude), the estate rests on volcanic soils rich in iron, with optimal drainage and the refreshing influence of the San Pablo Bay. A perfect geological signature for Cabernet Sauvignon & Franc .

Style: Structured Power, Mineral Elegance

The wines (Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Collina blends, and the legendary "Maya" cuvée) combine concentration, lively acidity, fine tannins, and aromatic depth: dark fruits, graphite, spicy accents. Some vintages reach excellence (100/100) .

Philosophy and Practices

Cultivated organically since 2007 and biodynamically from 2019, each plot receives meticulous care: manual harvesting, native fermentations, use of amphorae, aging in French barrels. The team (Naoko, Maya, Andy Erickson, Michel Rolland) aims for quality worthy of the First Growths .
