About Castello di Amorosa
Castello di Amorosa is an authentically built 13th-century-style Tuscan castle winery near Calistoga, the vision of fourth-generation vintner Dario Sattui, who also owns V. Sattui Winery in St. Helena. Sattui bought the 171-acre property in 1993 and spent roughly 15 years and an estimated $40 million building it, importing over a million antique European bricks and roof tiles and hand-chiseling 8,000 tons of stone.
The castle opened to the public in April 2007 with 107 rooms across eight levels, including a moat, drawbridge, chapel, and a torture chamber with a Renaissance-era iron maiden. The 2020 Glass Fire damaged the estate's farmhouse and destroyed that year's Fantasia wine, but the castle itself survived unharmed.
Dario Sattui's authentic 13th-century-style Tuscan castle near Calistoga, 15 years and roughly $40 million in the making.
