A FAMILY LEGACY OF FARMING
Stewardship in Winegrowing
The Martinelli Family has been farming land and growing grapes in Sonoma County for more than 135 years, consistently providing our winemaking team with exceptional fruit. It is our team’s goal to produce wines from our estate vineyards that represent its terroir, and to reproduce these wines consistently and recognizably year after year. Our winemaking team are the guardians of terroir and play a significant part in crafting wines that fully express the vineyard sites. We are truly blessed to be working with some of the best fruit grown in Sonoma County.

Jackass Hill Vineyard
Planted in the 1880s by Giuseppe Martinelli, Jackass Hill is the steepest, non-terraced vineyard in Sonoma County, California and possibly the US. Its steepest section is a 60-65 degree slope. Our family always says “you’d have to be a jackass to farm a hill that steep,” hence its name.
