Donati Family VineyardDonati Family Vineyard places the Italian-heritage Donati family surname directly on a Templeton Gap estate that the family has farmed since 1999.
The Italian namingThe Italian naming tradition in California wine — placing the family surname on the estate rather than a conceptual brand name — connects the Donati estate to the generations of Italian-immigrant families who shaped California agriculture.
The Oak ViewThe Oak View Road property in the Templeton Gap District produces Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Sangiovese from west-side Paso Robles vineyards cooled by the daily Pacific marine air that flows through the Santa Lucia Range.
