Variety: Nebbiolo, Dolcetto, Barbera, Grignolino
Location: North Coast, CA
Alcohol: 11.5%
A bright and fresh rosé with pronounced structure to pair with food. There is a play between savory versus fresh and subtlety versus power that make this wine very intriguing. Aromas of orange peel, grapefruit, alpine herbs, peach, wildflowers and sea spray.
Grapes were picked together at the moment when their different qualities and stages of ripeness came together and were complimentary. They were then whole cluster pressed, fermented via native yeast, left on all the lees and solids, aged in neutral oak and stainless steel, and underwent native secondary fermentation.
While the wine is designated as North Coast, the fruit largely comes from Fox Hill Vineyard. Located southeast of Ukiah on Mendocino’s Talmage Bench, the soils are well drained with high concentrations of gravel and sandstone.
