Michael Pozzan Winery
is owned and operated by Michael and Mary Ann Pozzan, both natives
of California. Michael was born and raised in the San Francisco
Bay Area, but spent his summer months with his grandparents on their
35 acre vineyard estate in Sonoma County. Michael's grandfather
purchased the land in the town of Healdsburg after WWII and planted
Zinfandel grapes which he sold to local wineries. He always made
sure that he retained a portion of the grapes to make his own wine.
With roots extending to Piemonte, Italy, Michael's family still owns the original
vineyard that Michael's great grandfather planted over 100 years
ago. Michael has benefited greatly from his family's experience
and expertise, and has continued the tradition by creating fine
wines here in California. Michael Pozzan Winery was founded in 1991
and is based in Oakville, California, in the heart of the Napa Valley.
The winery currently produces 95,000 cases a year and distributes
its wine throughout the United States in selected markets. The wine
is sold under four labels, Michael Pozzan, Annabella,
Dante, and Contrada.
The Michael Pozzan Reserve
wines, produced from grapes grown in the Napa and Sonoma regions,
are of the finest quality and have won numerous medals and awards.
The collection includes Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Merlot, Sauvignon
Blanc and Pinot Noir.
The Annabella
line is a collection of Napa wines that are sourced from premium
vineyards throughout the valley. Named in honor of Michael's grandmother,
they include a Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, and Merlot. These
wines represent not only quality, but value as well. Because of
their popularity, the Annabella wines are allocated on an annual
basis.
The Dante Wine Collection
was inspired by Michael's travels through the Tuscan countryside
and is named after Michael and Mary Ann's eldest son, Michael Dante Pozzan. The
collection includes a Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay.
They are made in the Italian style with well-balanced fruit and
nice acid, which allows the wines to match well with a variety of
foods.
The Contrada wines
are the latest creation for Michael Pozzan Winery. Contrada refers
to the small neighborhoods found in the northern Tuscany region
of Italy. These handcrafted wines are reminiscent of the local wines
produced from that area.
Our winery is committed to producing
fine wines that represent quality and value. Michael Pozzan wines
can be enjoyed with good food, family, friends and all who share
the love of wine.
Salute!
