Bacigalupi Vineyards have been owned and grown by the Bacigalupi family since 1956.

Obsidian Ridge Vineyard
Napa Valley, California
In 1973, Michael Terrien, Peter Molnar, and Arpad Molnar planted a vineyard on an old abandoned walnut orchard high in the Napa Valley. They soon discovered that they were farming on a volcano, on a ridge of solid black Obsidian glass. Today, the extreme climate, altitude, and volcanics result in a cabernet sauvignon like no other.

Formerly the site of a cattle ranch in far northern Mendocino County, the land that would become Alder Springs Ranch was purchased by Stu Bewley in 1991 after he carefully studied over 40 potential sites. He found the hilly landscape offers nearly perfect growing conditions: bright sun, cool nights, phenomenal low-vigor soils.
