Michael Mondavi Family
About
For four generations, the Mondavi family has tended vineyards in California's Napa Valley. Michael Mondavi's grandparents, Cesare and Rosa, immigrated to America from Sassoferrato, Italy, settling initially in Minnesota before moving to Lodi, California in 1921 where they established a grape shipping and wine supply business. By the late 1930s, Cesare perceived that the future lay in quality wine from Napa Valley and eventually evolved his family’s business from bulk wine to bottled wine. In 1943, the family purchased the historic Charles Krug winery in Napa Valley.
