About Buoncristiani Family Winery
Founded in 1999 by brothers born and raised in Napa Valley, Buoncristiani Family Winery draws on multiple Italian generations rooted in the culture of wine and food. The brothers handcraft every lot themselves, quality not quantity is the stated philosophy, keeping production deliberately limited and attending, as they put it, to every drop of every gallon in each barrel.
The portfolio runs from Sauvignon Blanc through Malbec and Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon to O.P.C., the proprietary red named for Ol' Pa's Cuvée. Tastings are hosted by the brothers themselves at The Caves at Soda Canyon, perched above the Stags Leap District, where library Cabernets reaching back to the early 2000s are poured alongside the current releases.
Brothers who bottle the family name pour their own library Cabernets in a cave above the Stags Leap District.
