![]() The Michael Mondavi Family wines were born from a rich family heritage, and from the vision, integrity and passion of Michael Mondavi. Michael's grandmother Rosa reminded him to always focus on making wines that invite people to have a second glass, a family value that continues to guide winemakers Sabrina Massola and Rob Mondavi, Jr when crafting the wines. As a result, the Michael Mondavi Family wines are made from sustainably farmed vineyards with a focus on biodiversity. Their wines - Emblem, Animo, and M by Michael Mondavi Family – celebrate Napa's top grape varieties, grown in high quality vineyards and blended for balance and precision.Ĭesare Mondavi instilled in his grandson Michael a pride in the land and the importance of leaving it healthy for future generations. In 1999, Michael Mondavi, together with his wife Isabel, son Rob Jr and daughter Dina, purchased land for a vineyard in the hillsides of Napa Valley, the first step toward crafting wines under the Michael Mondavi Family label. I am grateful for the growth opportunities offered to me at MHUSA and I hope to bring my learnings and energy to the Folio team," he said.The Mondavi family name and spirit have been intertwined with California's Napa Valley for four generations.
