Napa Valley Winery Spotlight: V. Sattui Winery

Napa Valley is famous for its wines and wineries. We love highlighting some of our favorite wineries in our Napa Valley Winery spotlights. This week, we’re featuring V. Sattui Winery.

About V. Sattui Winery

V. Sattui was originally founded in 1885 by Vittorio and Katerina Sattui–but it was called St. Helena Wine Cellars. Sadly, Vittorio had to close it in 1920 due to Prohibition. Nearly 60 years later, Vittorio’s great-grandson Dario reopened the winery as V. Sattui Winery.

V. Sattui believes great winemaking starts in the vineyard. This is why they use only the best sustainable and organic vineyard practices, and harvest each grape at its peak flavor. They perfectly combine tradition with innovation to produce rich, complex wines with incredible flavor.
