About Montevina Wines

Montevina was a modern Amador pioneer, planted in the early 1970s as the Shenandoah Valley's wine revival gathered steam, and it grew into one of the region's most visible producers, an early champion of both Zinfandel and Italian varieties like Barbera and Sangiovese in foothill soils. The Trinchero family of Napa acquired the estate, and its top wines evolved under the Terra d'Oro name.

Today the property and its premium tier are best known as Terra d'Oro, which also appears in our catalog; the two entries describe one Shenandoah Valley estate and its label history. The Shenandoah Valley tasting room at this location is now permanently closed, though the old-vine Zinfandels and Barberas remain the labels' calling cards through the Trinchero family and retail channels.

The early-1970s Amador revival pioneer whose estate now leads with the Terra d'Oro name; one property, two catalog entries.
