Battuello Vineyards is a historic winery located in Napa Valley, established by Matteo Battuello in 1909 after immigrating from Italy. The property, which spans 82 acres, features a working ranch aesthetic with vintage farming equipment and an 1870s barn linked to the nearby Bale Grist Mill. The Battuello family has maintained ownership and farming operations for four generations, focusing on quality grape production rather than quantity. The vineyard primarily grows Cabernet Sauvignon, along with smaller plantings of Petit Verdot, Sauvignon Blanc, and Valdiguié, a variety they have cultivated since the 1930s. Battuello Vineyards is one of the few producers of Valdiguié in Napa, which has seen a resurgence in interest. The family produced their first commercial wines in 2016, hiring winemaker Michael Trujillo to craft their offerings. Visitors can expect a genuine farming experience rather than the typical Napa extravagance. The winery emphasizes estate-grown wines, with a focus on quality and traditional practices. Tasting options include a range of varietals, with notable releases such as their Sauvignon Blanc and Valdiguié wines, showcasing unique flavor profiles and balanced acidity.
