CHRIS DONATIELLO - C. DONATIELLO WINERY
After many years in New
York on the sales marketing side of wine and spirits, and one too many
frustrations about how great vineyards were being homogenized by big
corporations, Chris headed west to make great wines with character. Having
worked with many well-known luxury brands and some of the top restaurants in
the world, Chris was eager to combine his business expertise, entrepreneurial
spirit, and love of wine. Creating a winery in the Russian River Valley that
focuses on the fruit and the land, C. Donatiello Winery shows the delicate
balance between the character of the land and the skill of the winemaker. Chris
enjoys the challenge of working with classic varietals to evoke a powerful
sense of place. Using traditional methods and modern equipment, his goal with
C. Donatiello Pinot Noir and Chardonnay is to deliver an experience that is
vivid, individualistic, and memorable. In doing so, he’s creating wine that
exemplifies both the Russian River Valley, and the man behind the name.
