Martinelli

Martinelli is a wine producer in the Russian River Valley, where the family has grown grapes and made wine since the late 1880s, when Giuseppe and Luisa planted Zinfandel vineyards. Their great-granddaughter Julianna grew up among these vineyards and is an owner responsible for sales and marketing.

Martinelli owns and farms more than 470 acres of vineyards across Russian River Valley, Green Valley and Fort Ross-Seaview. Its estate vineyards are 100% sustainably farmed, and its grapes include Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Zinfandel, Syrah and Muscat of Alexandria. The vineyard history stretches from Jackass Hill, planted by Giuseppe in the 1880s, to Three Sisters Vineyards, planted on the coastal property in Fort Ross-Seaview by Carolyn and her sisters Charlotte and Donna in the late 1990s.
