Signorello Estate files for Chapter 11 with debts of up to $50 million

  • Signorello Estate and seven affiliates filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
  • Signorello Estate reported debts between $10 million and $50 million.
  • Signorello Estate faces foreclosure over a $37 million outstanding loan.

Signorello Estate, the Napa Valley winery rebuilt after the 2017 Atlas fire, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection last month alongside seven affiliated entities. The filings in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of California say the company believes it owes creditors between $10 million and $50 million, while the property faces a foreclosure sale tied to a reported $37 million outstanding loan. The filing also says the property needs immediate attention because perishables could deteriorate or lose value. The bankruptcy comes after an expensive rebuilding effort that produced a 28,000-square-foot hillside winery, which reopened in 2024 with tasting fees above the Napa Valley average. Signorello’s financial difficulties come as California’s wine industry contends with excess grape supply, weaker consumer demand and pressure from beer and spirits.
