Domaine Dalla Valle spans around 15 hectares of lush hillside land, offering the vines abundant sunshine while being sheltered from the cool maritime breezes of the San Francisco Bay. Combined with a rich, well-drained volcanic soil, this ideal microclimate allows for slow and complete maturation of the grapes, leading to wines with characteristic depth and flavor intensity.

The dedicated team at the estate pays attention to detail at every step of the winemaking process, from careful pruning of the vines to fermentation in small French oak barrels. This meticulous care is evident in every bottle of Dalla Valle that is produced. What sets Domaine Dalla Valle apart is its focus on exceptional crus. The estate's two iconic wines, the Maya and the Dalla Valle Cabernet Sauvignon, are respectively a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, and a 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. These wines are widely recognized for their power, structure, and aging potential, with notes of ripe black fruit, chocolate, and spices.

Discover the grape variety: Cabernet franc

Cabernet Franc is one of the oldest red grape varieties in Bordeaux. The Libourne region is its terroir where it develops best. The terroirs of Saint-Emilion and Fronsac allow it to mature and develop its best range of aromas. It is also the majority in many blends. The very famous Château Cheval Blanc, for example, uses 60% Cabernet Franc. The wines produced with Cabernet Franc are medium in colour with fine tannins and subtle aromas of small red fruits and spices. When blended with Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, it brings complexity and a bouquet of aromas to the wine. It produces fruity wines that can be drunk quite quickly, but whose great vintages can be kept for a long time. It is an earlier grape variety than Cabernet Sauvignon, which means that it is planted as far north as the Loire Valley. In Anjou, it is also used to make sweet rosé wines. Cabernet Franc is now used in some twenty countries in Europe and throughout the world.
