About Vangone Estate
Vangone Estate is named for the Vangone family — their Italian-heritage surname placed directly on a St. Helena estate that produces Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese from family-owned Napa Valley vineyards. The Italian heritage is declared in both the name and the varietal choice: Sangiovese, the grape of Tuscany, grown on a California wine estate by a family carrying an Italian family name.
The St. Helena estate produces Cabernet Sauvignon from the appellation's characteristic benchland soils alongside Sangiovese that connects the family's Italian heritage to the vineyard work they do in California. The combination of Cabernet and Sangiovese — American luxury wine alongside Italian heritage variety — reflects a family identity that spans both traditions.
The appointment-only tasting room on the St. Helena estate offers a personal encounter with the Vangone family's dual-heritage wine program, shaped by the family's pride in both their Italian name and their California winemaking achievement.
