Mount

A Tuscan castle at the north end of Napa Valley. Dario Sattui spent fourteen years building it by hand. Eight thousand tons of hand-chiselled stone. Antique bricks shipped from Europe. Frescoes painted by Italian artists. There is a drawbridge over a real moat, a chapel above, a dungeon below. The vines on the slope are Sangiovese, the same grape that grows in Tuscany. It opened to the public in 2007. Most days you can walk the courtyards before the tour groups arrive.

Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
