Partner Company of Visit Napa Valley
In 1991, Codorníu Napa was inaugurated with a specific mission — to establish pre-eminence in crafting California’s foremost sparkling wine.
As the vineyard substantiated its viticultural acumen with still wines, the Artesa nomenclature was introduced in 1998.
Stemming from the Catalan language, signifying “handcrafted,” Artesa expeditiously ascended to prominence as a trailblazer, distilling exceptional wines from the distinguished varietals of Los Carneros and Napa Valley: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Cabernet Sauvignon.
Raventós Codorníu stands as the vanguard of Spain’s oldest family winery, tracing its origins back to 1551.
Nestled within three miles of the San Pablo Bay, its strategic location provides an optimal cool, maritime climate, particularly conducive to the cultivation of Pinot noir and Chardonnay.
Spanning 150 acres, the vineyard unfolds along five distinct ridges, encompassing a diverse array of slopes and soils.
To navigate the intricacies of this complex terrain, we meticulously divide the vineyard into more than fifty individual blocks, tailoring our cultivation practices to the unique attributes of each block.
