i. Biography
Her work is framed by family craft rather than individual reinvention. Valeria Antolin says, “My father was a well known Winemaker, as was my Uncle & Grandfather.” That inheritance gives the work its register: winemaking treated as practiced knowledge, carried through the cellar and refined by repetition. “Winemaking is our expert craft and rooted deeply within my heritage,” she says, and the line reads as a working definition of the trade.
The Climb
The role of Principal Winemaker places Valeria Antolin at the point where vineyard decisions and cellar judgment meet the finished wine at Piattelli Vineyards. In that position, the work depends on reading each season closely and responding with balance rather than formula. Technique matters, but only in service of the fruit, the land, and the conditions that shape a vintage.
Today
At Piattelli Vineyards, the wines under Valeria Antolin’s direction are built with an emphasis on structure, clarity, and varietal expression. The approach favors restraint over intervention, letting the environment set the terms and the cellar keep pace. What comes through is a style that is deliberate, composed, and grounded in inherited craft made practical.
Signature
Valeria Antolin's signature wines include Trinità, Cabernet Sauvignon Reserva, and Piattelli Malbec Reserve 2020. Read together, they show a preference for wines that carry depth and structure without excess. Each one sits within a portfolio shaped by heritage, technique, and attention to site.
In Their Words “The best technique in the world won't make up for an environment not perfectly suited to a given varietal.” “Winemaking is our expert craft and rooted deeply within my heritage.”
