The Story

Paradiso is the proprietary name for our Bordeaux-style red wine that changes in varietal composition from vintage to vintage.  

At V. Sattui Winery we craft one of the largest selections of award-winning, small-batch, small lot wines to suit a wide range of tastes. We believe great winemaking starts in the vineyard, where we use sustainable and organic vineyard practices. We harvest each grape at the peak of flavor, then use time-honored techniques combined with technologically advanced winemaking equipment to make wines with depth of flavor, complexity, and richness.

Wine Information

Our 2011 has been praised for tasting as good as a high-end Bordeaux, with a much more palatable price.

Our 2011 Paradiso is a blend of 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, 3% Petite Verdot and 2% Malbec. The Cabernet comes from three different vineyard locations: Gerlach Vineyard in the Coombsville appellation which brings color and fine-grained tannins; head-trained, 40-year old vines from Preston Vineyard in Rutherford, a site that produces bright, very fruit-forward wines with a ripe, dusty note; and the gravelly-soils of Morisoli Vineyard on the Rutherford Bench, where volcanic deposits as well as alluvial deposits produce big, muscular Cabernets. The Merlot is from our Henry Ranch in Los Carneros, where the deeper soils near Carneros Creek provide excellent pigment and fine-grained tannins in the wine. A dose of Cabernet Franc brings a pretty, floral aromatic note. Petite Verdot comes from Vittorio's Vineyard, our certified organic vineyard adjacent to V. Sattui Winery in St Helena. And lastly, Malbec adds a dark, inky color to this elegant blend.
