Villa Ragazzi

Villa Ragazzi, a small family Winery in Napa Valley, co-owned by alumna Michaela Rodeno (MBA '80), produces a rare Sangiovese from a unique clone. The Rodeno clone was the first Sangiovese planted in Napa Valley, in 1985. Farmed in the Rodeno family vineyard on a well-drained mountain site in Napa Valley, it yields only 1-2 tons/acre. The resulting wines are consistently full-bodied, with good intensity and color; the acidity typical of this varietal assures cellaring potential.
Villa Ragazzi will donate 10% of alumni purchases to the Haas Fund.
