Angelina Mondavi is at the forefront of a new generation of winemakers in Napa Valley. Born into a family that needs no introduction to wine lovers worldwide, Angelina began her career at the age of 10 assisting the lab manager at her family’s winery Charles Krug. After graduating from Villanova University with a degree in chemistry, Angelina gained invaluable experience working internationally in the Barossa Valley of Australia and earned a Master’s Degree in Oenology from the University of Adelaide’s Waite Campus. Upon her return to Napa Valley in 2007, Angelina continued her career by making wine locally and internationally for stalwart Napa Valley brands as well as hot new startup wineries. It was during this time that Angelina joined forces with her three sisters to launch Dark Matter and Aloft, two highly sought-after Howell Mountain wines. She has also partnered with her cousin Robert Mondavi Jr. to create a brand named Fourth Leaf in honor of their grandfathers Robert Mondavi and Peter Mondavi Sr. She currently carries the honor of serving as a director on the family’s company board for C. Mondavi & Family, with a goal to continue the family legacy.
