Spoto Family Wines

The Spoto winemaking story traces to Enrico Rodolfo Spoto Sr., who emigrated from Catania, Sicily in 1913 and settled into farming in Northern California. His son Henry taught himself to make wine as a hobby in Yuba City, and grandson Stuart, introduced to Napa Valley fruit in the early 1990s by UC Davis enologist Dr. Christian Butzke, spent two decades making wine at home from Oakville grapes before bonding the winery with its 2004 vintage.

Unusually for a Napa-fruit producer, Spoto's actual winery sits not in Napa Valley but in a residential Sacramento neighborhood, where Stuart makes wine in what was effectively a garage, sourcing the same rows of Oakville grapes each year from a vineyard neighboring Harlan Estate and Far Niente. Now a full family operation with wife Christy and daughters Arianna and Alexi, the winery produces fewer than 500 cases a year and earned membership in both the Oakville Winegrowers Association and Napa Valley Vintners.
