(Decanter) - The owners of Signorello Estate in Napa Valley have started plans for rebuilding after the winery was destroyed in the California fires in September. 

Ray Signorello Jr has hired Taylor Lombardo Architects and Nordby Construction Company to design and rebuild the estate.

‘After a great deal of research, I am thrilled to align Signorello Estate with these two local, award-winning firms,’ said Ray Signorello Jr.

Both companies have worked on other Napa wineries, including Silver Oak and Inglenook respectively.

The new design will be an open, modern structure taking advantage of the site and location of Signorello.

New features include ‘cave facilities’; an estimated 8000 sq ft space for ageing wines, along side hospitality space.

The new winery will also include a professional kitchen, allowing for extensive food and wine pairings as part of the visitor experience.
