The Chalk HillThe Chalk Hill AVA takes its name from the volcanic ash-rich white soils that blanket the rolling terrain between Healdsburg and Windsor — soils of unusual mineral character that consistently produce Chardonnay of distinctive texture, freshness, and food-first restraint.

The estate wineryThe estate winery and gardens — which Rhonda Carano designed with the same Italian passion that defines the Ferrari-Carano hospitality philosophy throughout the Carano portfolio — are among the most visually beautiful and comprehensively appointed in Sonoma County.

Chalk Hill Estate Chardonnay
Chalk Hill Estate
The Ferrari-Carano signature — Chalk Hill Estate Chardonnay from volcanic ash-rich white soils that give the AVA its name, praised by Wine Spectator for elegant, food-compatible restraint that Rhonda Carano's Italian-garden winemaking philosophy consistently delivers from this 250-acre Healdsburg estate.

Sangiovese-Syrah Blend
Siena
Sonoma County Estate
Ferrari-Carano's most Italian-heritage expression — Siena blending Sangiovese and Syrah in the Carano family's Italian winemaking tradition, one of Sonoma County's most unusual and consistently food-first red blends showing what the Carano Italian philosophy produces when applied to California estate grape varieties.
Estate
★★★★☆
Cabernet Sauvignon
Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Alexander Valley Estate
Ferrari-Carano's warm-climate Sonoma County Cab from Alexander Valley estate sourcing — produced with the same Italian food-first philosophy that guides every Carano wine, warm, structured, and designed to pair with the kind of Italian table tradition that Don and Rhonda Carano have maintained since establishing the portfolio.
Estate
★★★★☆
Bordeaux Blend
Tresor Reserve Red Blend
Sonoma County Estate
Ferrari-Carano's most ambitious reserve expression — Tresor combining the finest Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cab Franc lots from across the Carano Sonoma County estate portfolio in the most comprehensively Italian-philosophy-guided red blend the family produces.
