Introduced in 2019, Proficio has become Antinori Napa Valley’s flagship wine.

The name reflects the Antinori family motto, “Te Duce Proficio,” which translates roughly to “Following my ancestors, I flourish.”

In the glass, the wine reveals a deep ruby color with aromas of blackberry, plum, and mountain earth. Subtle notes of dried herbs and to***co add complexity.

Cabernet Franc lifts the aromatics while Cabernet Sauvignon provides structure and aging potential.

The palate is concentrated and layered with dark fruit, peppery spice, and firm tannins that carry through a long finish.

This is a wine produced only in exceptional vintages from select high elevation blocks on the estate.

EXPERIENCE our latest Winery feature "A Sommelier’s Perspective: Tasting Antinori Napa Valley" 🍾☁️🍇

Sneak peek 👀⁠
Recently, I spent an afternoon at the Antinori Napa Valley estate tasting their wines with my dear friend Glenn Salva, the longtime Estate Manager who has helped shape Antinori Napa Valley for four decades. Joining us was my friend and writing partner for this article, Donald Sonderling, whose feature story in Monarch Wine explores the remarkable history and legacy of the Antinori family and their Napa Valley estate.

Glenn guided us through the tasting flights while sharing his remarkable insights. I left reflecting on how Marchese Piero Antinori’s vision of blending Tuscan heritage with Napa Valley terroir has evolved into one of the most distinctive mountain estates in the region.

Piero Antinori had three requirements as he searched for the perfect vineyard property:
• Hillside location.
• Southwest exposure.
• Rocky soil that allows efficient water drainage.

These elements are reflected in the vineyard that produces the elegant Proficio, a blend of 70 percent Cabernet Sauvignon and 30 percent Cabernet Franc. The wine’s label bears the signature of Piero Antinori, a testament to the remarkable terroir that produces this exceptional wine.

Further down the slopes, at about 1,500 feet in Foss Valley, the soil shifts to predominantly alluvial deposits. This is where the grapes for the estate’s A26 Chardonnay are grown. The name honors the Antinori family’s 26 generations of winemaking heritage.

EXPLORE above the clouds in our latest Winery feature "Antinori Napa Valley: Where Tuscan Legacy Meets Atlas Peak" 🍾☁️🍇

Sneak peek 👀⁠
The first time Marchese Piero Antinori saw the landscape on Atlas Peak, at approximately 1,600 feet above sea level in the Vaca Mountain Range, he was reminded of his home in Chianti Classico. The terrain felt familiar. It also held the promise of producing exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Chardonnay.

A visit to Antinori Napa Valley is not simply a tasting. It is an experience that combines a welcoming, thoughtfully designed estate with sweeping mountain views and wines that express the unique character of the site.

Hawks Hill Ranch is a unique estate producing exceptional wines. The boutique property spans about 250 acres, with roughly 32 acres planted to vines.

The vineyard focuses primarily on Rhône varietals, especially Syrah, Grenache, and Mourvèdre.

Before launching the Hawks Hill label in 2016, owner Kit Kuyper sold his grapes to a small number of respected Paso Robles winemakers.

Today, about 60 percent of the estate fruit is used to produce Hawks Hill’s own top-tier, award-winning wines.

FIND this quiet discovery of Paso Robles in our latest Winery feature "Hawks Hill Ranch Winery" 🍷🍇🌅

Sneak peek 👀⁠
Every wine region has a few places that feel like secrets.

In Paso Robles, Hawks Hill Ranch Winery might be one of them. Just fifteen minutes from downtown along Adelaida Road, the estate sits tucked among oak-covered hills where hawks glide overhead, and vineyard rows stretch across dramatic slopes.

Guests taste wines inside a converted 90-year-old horse barn, a setting that blends rustic ranch charm with polished elegance.

It is the kind of place you discover once and immediately want to return to.

At Hawks Hill Ranch, the experience begins long before the first sip.
