"Legacy is family, our two fountains of joy. Celebrate life's joy's. Salute!"
The Two Fountains of World-Class Cabernet Sauvignon…
Due Fontane (Italian for “Two Fountains”) is a brand with a family foundation-rooted in our shared heritage, kinship and the unwavering bond of brotherhood and belonging. Our ultimate focus is to provide world-class Cabernet Sauvignon sourced from two namesake American Viticultural Areas (AVAs): Alexander Valley and Napa Valley.
The secret to these exceptional wines lies in the unique microclimates of Alexander Valley and Napa Valley, which perfectly facilitate the ripening of Cabernet and other Bordeaux varietals. The two valleys are lively geological areas featuring ancient volcanic activity and fault zones that expose a diverse mixture of river loam, light clay, and iron-laden volcanic soils. When combined with warm days, cool nights, and foggy mornings, this environment provides the exact nuances needed to achieve full physiological maturity, resulting in wines that boast dense varietal characteristics, balanced fresh acids, and a lasting structure.

Mitchell Masotti
Born on the island of Maui, Mitchell grew up a world away from vineyards and the intimate craft of winemaking. This all changed when his Uncle in California introduced him to the subtle art of winemaking, sharing a bottle of the family’s staple wine created by his grandfather decades ago. The ability to enjoy the fruits of his grandfather’s labor shaped the passion he has for winemaking today. Mitchell’s professional winemaking career spans across 20+ harvests, recognized by many peers and critics as a phenomenal rising talent in the ever changing wine arena.
