About Us
The Indians of Southern Illinois chose the high ground for their campsites. Knolls gently rising from the banks of a creek or small river provided a location for the band to live and be content with the abundance of the land. Flint Hill is located on such a place. The Native North American grapes were a part of the scene and flourished on the fertile land. In recent years, the introduction of grape varieties from Europe has been found to thrive on the same terrain used as the Indian campsite. High, well drained soil gives Flint Hill the quality grape needed to craft exceptional wines. If your production has a need for quality fruit, contact Flint Hill.
Following the tradition of their grandfathers who planted grapes in the rolling hills of Saline County, Illinois in 1913, Louis Bertino and John Molinarolo chose the French hybrids Chambourcin, Vignoles, Seyval Blanc, New York Niagara and the ever popular Concord for Flint Hill Vineyards. The whites are subtle and fruity. The reds are nutty and full bodied – preferred by connoisseurs.
