Some skin contact lends an incandescent, roseate hue, breadth of palate and subtle tannin. Light and pretty, wildly floral yet savory with a visceral depth. An inebriating blend of wild pomelo, summer melon, stone fruit, white tea and sweet earth all weave with finessed length and elegant palate presence.

Crushed by foot and left to macerate whole cluster for about three days, then drained and pressed to neutral puncheon and stainless steel for fermentation. Once dry, the wine is racked off its heavy lees and barreled down to all neutral puncheon for a 6 month elevage.

Fanucci-Wood Vineyard is located on about seven acres in the Russian River Valley appellation of Sonoma County. The 100-year-old vineyard has been hand-tended by the Fanucchi family for the last 29 years. This vineyard is home to the illusive Trousseau Gris grape, rarely seen in North America.
