Dario Sattui, owner of  Castello di Amorosa and V. Sattui wineries, received the Best Italian American Businessman in California Award from the Order Sons of Italy in America at its Humanitarian and Leadership Awards Charity Gala in Sacramento.

Sattui, a fourth generation Italian, was recognized for commitment to his heritage, his passion for Italian wine and lifestyle and his crowning achievement, a 121,000 square foot authentic-styled, 12th century Tuscan castle-winery that rises up from the hills in Napa Valley.

“It’s humbling to receive this award from the oldest and largest Italian American organization in the U.S.,” said Sattui. “They recognized my strong connection to my heritage and recognized me for honoring their struggles in life.  The Castello is a fitting tribute to my great grandfather, Vittorio Sattui, who started the original V. Sattui winery in 1885 and all Italian Americans.”
