Salvestrin has been in the Salvestrin family since 1932, when Italian immigrants John and Emma Salvestrin purchased part of the historic Crane Ranch and began growing grapes for local wineries. With the 1994 vintage the estate released its first commercial wine, a Cabernet Sauvignon. Th estate is certified as Napa Green, meaning it has met strict criteria for sustainable farming. Today his grandson Rich runs the estate with help from his wife and daughters. Salvestrin produces Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite Sirah, Sangiovese, Bordeaux blends and Sauvignon Blanc.
