Napa family rebuilt winery after 2017 wildfire for $30M; nine years later, $37M debt puts estate at risk
Signorello Estate winery faces an October auction after a series of devastating setbacks. The winery burned down in 2017, and rebuilding efforts faced significant delays and cost increases. Global wine sales have declined, impacting the business's revenue streams and financial stability. The owner owes $37 million to American AgCredit, which rejected a $16 million cash offer. This potential foreclosure threatens a 50-year family legacy and the jobs of ten employees.
