For many years, Signorello Estate held quiet, lasting presence in Napa Valley — a longtime fixture along Napa Valley’s iconic Silverado Trail.
That changed on the night of Oct. 9, 2017, when Signorello became the first winery to be confirmed as completely destroyed by the Atlas wildfire, tearing through Napa’s eastern hillsides.
Sustainability and future-proofing were top of mind when executing this new winery build. Owner Ray Signorello’s vision was executed by the Taylor Lombardo group (one of the prominent wine country architects). Entirely off the grid, built by Midstate Construction and The Cave Company, the new winery is 100% solar-powered and built into the hillside around an ethos of sustainability and carbon capture.
The winery is designed for modern, ergonomic winemaking protocols, including mechanical systems designed for energy efficiency and sustainability, separate areas for red and white wine fermentation, multi-purpose rooms, backup systems in the event of power shutdowns, and HACC controls for microbial sanitation.
