Bettinelli Vineyards – wine making

Read More

The first two vintages of Bettinelli wines were produced in St. Helena at Rombauer 3winesVineyards. In 1995, Bettinelli Vineyards moved its production to Oakville Wine Cellars, a custom crush operation located closer to their “Rutherford Vista” vineyard.

Winemaker, Aaron Mosely, formerly with DeMoor Winery, was hired as winemaker in 1997. He crafts each of the 100% varietals, using an integrated French and American oak barrel management program. After bottling, each vintage is held back a short time before release, allowing for additional bottle aging. Prior to 1997, Bettinelli wines were made by Greg Graham.


Bettinelli Vineyards produces approximately 1000 cases each of Napa Valley chardonnay and cabernet sauvignon, and a reserve style merlot.
