Winery Details

The Locati family offers a unique combination, bringing together a hint of the Old Country with the expressive terroir of the Walla Walla Valley. They produce fine, hand-crafted Italian varietal wines utilizing family winemaking traditions brought from Italy’s rugged and fertile vineyards. Over a century of Locati vineyard knowledge nurtured by a rich combination of soil, terrain and weather produces rich, expressive and complex wines. 

• Vineyards: The elevated and sloping topography of Locati Vineyards allows cold air to drain away from the vineyards and the southwestern aspect concentrates solar radiation, warming the soil.

• Vines: The vines are planted in one to three feet of wind-deposited silt that overlies deposits of sand, silt, and gravel deposited by the famous Missoula floods.

• Roots: The roots of Locati’s vines reach through rich silts and well into the sediments of the 12,000 year-old Missoula floods, which are comprised of a complex suite of rocks and minerals derived from ice age glaciers.
