4th Generation-Small Production- Family Vineyard
Farming the Napa Valley since 1909, Battuello Vineyards stands at the intersection of history and wine. Our winemaking journey spans the periods before, during, and after Prohibition, showcasing our enduring commitment to the craft.**
Who We Are:
Greetings Berserkers, Torey Battuello from Battuello Vineyards here, expressing my enthusiasm for joining BerserkerDay 15 as a Newbie. Allow me to provide you with an insight into our haven before delving into the exciting offers.
In 1909, Matteo and Serfina Battuello embarked on a bold journey from Northern Italy to Ellis Island, eventually establishing themselves in the picturesque St. Helena, California. This transformative journey marked the inception of Battuello Vineyards. Despite the challenges posed by Prohibition, Matteo persisted with pride in his vineyard and wines, with government approval. Over the years, Matteo transitioned into a full-time grower, supplying fruit to esteemed producers such as Charles Krug, Mondavi, Clos Du Val, and Stags Leap Wine Cellars, among othersâperhaps unknowingly, youâve likely enjoyed our grapes already!
Fast forward, where 4th-generation Dave Battuello, supported by the seasoned winemaker Michael Trujillo with roots tracing back to Spain, upholds the winemaking legacy. I contribute to running the operations, alongside our two young farmers, Case (9 years old) and Alessa (7 years old), as our family continues to nurture the thriving 82-acre estate.
Battuelloâs distinctive label, featuring a vine with roots intricately spelling out â1909,â pays homage to our founding year, encapsulating our commitment to handcrafted wines from estate-grown grapes. Under Daveâs meticulous care, each grape in those bottles achieves the pinnacle of quality, symbolizing our unwavering dedication to crafting wines that embody excellence and authenticity. This serves as a tribute to the exceptional legacy of the Battuello family, eloquently illustrated through our rootsy logo.
On our estate, we are hands-on with various grape varieties, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Sauvignon Blanc, and the historically rich ValdiguiĂ©, once known as âNapa Gamay,â originating from southern France. Our vineyards epitomize quality and a profound passion for crafting wines that genuinely stand out.
As a certified micro winery, we currently produce about 1200 cases a year, and we proudly continue to sell most of our fruit to high-end wineries in the valley.
So, letâs get to the offers. We really want to share our wines with a like-minded community. To that end, all of our offers are with great discounts!
