About the Winery
Castellucci Napa Valley is run by siblings Maria and Marco Castellucci, whose grandfather Luigi made wine in his basement in Italy. Their father began buying Napa Valley vineyards about 20 years ago, and for years the family sold grapes to other wineries. In 2012 they began bottling some of their own. Maria leads the business from St. Helena, Marco manages the vineyards, and the winemaker is Jac Cole, who led winemaking at Spring Mountain Vineyard from 2003 to 2012 and earlier worked at Charles Krug and Stag's Leap Wine Cellars.
The family farms about 50 acres. The top site is a steep, terraced vineyard at the top of Spring Mountain, once called Fern Rock Vineyard, with vines planted in 1993. There is also a valley floor vineyard in Rutherford between the Silverado Trail and Zinfandel Lane, and a Merlot block beside the family home in St. Helena. Current wines include the 2018 Spring Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon and the 2014 St. Helena Merlot.
There is no tasting room. The winery's site mentions tastings but gives no place, fee or booking route, and the Napa Wine Project lists it as private with no appointments. Wines are sold online and through the Castellucci Club. The day below includes Spring Mountain Vineyard, where Jac Cole made wine for a decade, and ends in Rutherford, near the family's vineyard there.
Tasting Fees
Castellucci does not offer public tastings. On the day below, fees run $50 at Keenan, $95 at Spring Mountain Vineyard and $40 at Honig, paid to each winery.
Tasting fees as of October 2026. Wineries set and collect their own fees, and they change from time to time.
