Robert Biale

Napa, California

The Biale family, immigrants from Northern Italy, began planting zinfandel in Napa Valley in the 1930s. In the 1940s Aldo Biale began to sell their homemade zinfandel to insider locals, but, being illegal, it was referred to by its underground name: “Black Chickens”!
