Beringer
For over a century, the Napa Valley winery Beringer has been the creator of exceptionally crafted bottles, ranking among the most important estates in the area, the oldest continuously active. The history of this extensive production reality began in 1876 with Jacob Beringer, an immigrant from Germany who, after spending a few years as a cellar foreman for Charles Krug, purchased 87 acres with his brother Frederic that became the heart of production. In 1934, Beringer was the first Californian estate to offer public tours and internal tastings, thus giving a decisive start to hospitality in Napa Valley. Since its founding in St. Helena, in the northern part of the State, the winery has focused on talented and skilled winemakers who have significantly contributed over the decades to enhancing the wines of Beringer and California's wine culture. Today, the estate is divided into several wineries scattered across different areas, which are the basis of its multifaceted production.
The vineyards available to Beringer Winery are distributed across different areas, heterogeneous in microclimate and soil characteristics. Among the most important, we mention St. Helena, where well-drained soils rich in obsidian can be found, the Howell Mountain area, characterized by rocky soils partly of volcanic origin, with a cool climate due to the high altitudes, and finally Knights Valley with its volcanic soils. These areas can boast the AVA (American Viticultural Area), a naming system aimed at enhancing the most vocated wine territories in the United States. The varieties cultivated are mainly those traditionally spread in the New World, namely Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Malbec, Petit Verdot, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Semillon. Alongside these is Zinfandel, a clone of Primitivo that has contributed to writing the wine history of California.
The range of labels produced by the winery is exceedingly wide and varied, with bottles from different price ranges and types, all united by notable quality and pleasantness.
