Testarossa Winery

Situated in Los Gatos, California, is renowned for producing premier Pinot Noir and Chardonnay wines. Established in 1993 by Rob and Diana Jensen, the winery began as a weekend winemaking hobby in their Silicon Valley garage. The name 

"Testarossa," meaning "red-head" in Italian, was Rob's nickname during his studies in Italy. In 1997, Testarossa relocated to the historic Novitiate Winery, originally built in 1888 by Jesuit Fathers and Brothers from Santa Clara College. This site, known for producing altar wines during Prohibition, is the fourth-oldest continuously operating winery in California.

Under his guidance, Testarossa has established long-term relationships with top growers, ensuring exceptional quality across vintages.
