Muscardini Cellars

Muscardini Cellars is the most comprehensively Italian-variety-focused small winery in the Sonoma Valley. Michael Muscardini, whose family heritage and winemaking passion have always centered on the Italian varieties that California wine has historically underexplored, established the Kenwood Highway 12 estate in 2002 with a program that has consistently grown in recognition and critical appreciation as the quality of California Italian-variety winemaking has improved across the board.

The wine program spans Sangiovese, Primitivo (Italy's original name for what California calls Zinfandel), Dolcetto, Barbera, and other Italian varietals from Sonoma County and California sourcing relationships. The consistent critical thread across all Muscardini wines is the genuine Italian character, food-first acidity, structural elegance, and the aromatic complexity that these varieties produce when a winemaker has genuine cultural connection to their homeland styles.

The Highway 12 Kenwood tasting room, open Thursday through Monday with walk-in access and picnic grounds, provides one of the most genuinely educational and enjoyable Italian varietal explorations available at any Sonoma Valley tasting room.
