Ferrari Carano Winery

8761 Dry Creek Road, Healdsburg, CA, 95448 [ map ]

Located on RockRise Mountain on the east side of Alexander Valley, high above Geyserville at an elevation of 1,200 feet, sits the Ferrari-Carano Winery. Our grapes are harvested at night in the age-old tradition; by hand. Each mountain vineyard block is tediously sampled on a daily basis to determine the optimum picking time. The winemaker's goal is to translate this mountain fruit of small berries with concentrated flavors into lush, complex, rich, and flavorful wines. This state-of-the-art gravity-flow winery is unique because the delivery system for the grape clusters was specifically designed for Ferrari-Carano to handle the fruit as gently as possible.

Adjacent to the Ferrari-Carano Winery is a 46,000 square foot underground cave for fermentation and barrel aging that provides the perfect environment for the wines to develop to their full potential. As with our white wines, our red wines are produced from a variety of different clones and selections from Ferrari-Carano's two mountain vineyards, RockRise and LookOut. These mountain grapes come from low-yielding, non-irrigated vines which add depth and character to the wines.
