Farella Wine Description
Farella Wine: Celebrating a Blend of Tradition and Innovation in Napa Valley
Nestled in the heart of Napa Valley, Farella Wine stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of the Farella family. Founded in 1985 by Frank Farella and now led by his son, Tom Farella, this vineyard marries rich family traditions with modern winemaking practices. With a degree in viticulture and enology from the distinguished UC Davis, Tom brings both his father’s passion and his own extensive experience to every bottle of Farella wine.
The Farella vineyard, sprawling across 26 acres in the scenic shadows of the Vaca Mountains, was first planted in 1979. This area, a part of the prestigious Napa region, is renowned for its ideal winegrowing conditions. The vineyard’s varied elevation, from 300 to 500 feet, and its soil—a mix of stony loam, volcanic ash, and gravelly loam—provide a fertile ground for producing exceptional grapes year after year.
Tom’s education didn’t stop in Napa; he broadened his horizons with work stints in France and Oregon, gaining a global perspective that now influences Farella’s winemaking philosophy. This approach is deeply rooted in showcasing the unique characteristics of their terroir, making each bottle a narrative of its origin.
At Farella Vineyard, sustainable farming is more than a method; it’s a commitment to preserving the natural integrity of the land. The vineyard’s dedication to no-till farming methods minimizes soil erosion and compaction, while organic practices ensure the health of both the vineyard and the wines produced. This careful stewardship is reflected in the quality and sustainability of Farella wines, which include a variety of flavors from the robust Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot to the crisp Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.
Over the past three decades, Farella Winery has carved a niche for itself in the Napa wine community, celebrated for wines that offer a complex palette of flavors that reflect the unique climatic and soil conditions of their vineyard. The influence of Tom’s international experiences is evident in the subtle, refined flavors and textures that characterize Farella wines.
Farella’s winemaking techniques are further enhanced by malolactic fermentation, which softens the wine while adding a layer of complexity, showcasing the vineyard’s innovative spirit. The winery’s offerings range from the Farella “Alta,” a proprietary blend first introduced in 2014, to their exquisite single-varietal wines, each underscoring the expertise and passion of the Farella team.
As Farella Park Winery looks ahead, it remains a symbol of the harmonious blend of tradition and innovation that defines the Napa Valley wine community. With each bottle, Farella invites wine enthusiasts to partake in the legacy and artistry of the Farella family, celebrating the rich tapestry of Napa’s wine culture.
Farella Park Vineyards has steadily increased its production over the years, adapting traditional and low-intervention winemaking practices to create expressive, age-worthy vintages. With a focus on personalized, sustainable care, each vintage promises a complex, intriguing flavor profile that reflects the distinctive terroir of Coombsville AVA.
Tom Farella’s passion for viticulture is evident in the meticulous attention he devotes to each vineyard block. The result is a collection of premium, small-batch wines that are both bold and elegant. These wines are celebrated not just for their outstanding quality but also for embodying the prestigious legacy of the Farella family.
