Estate Grown, Crushed & Cellared "Wine is sunlight, held together by water" Galileo Galilei
Mountain grown – Excellence in the fruit
Soil and climate are essential to the intensity of the flavor of our grapes. La Serenissima vines grow without fertilizers, in a soil rich in minerals and nutrients from volcanic deposits and erosive runoff from the surrounding mountain ranges. Intense summer sunshine is tempered by cool nights and prevailing ocean breezes. Our northern exposure and partial mountain shadowing achieve ripeness without burning.
Crafted using Traditional Italian Methods – Quality in the wine
Our wine is handcrafted from perfect hand-harvested clusters of fruit. The grapes are destemmed and crushed to produce a flavorful must, which is fermented in oak. After fermentation, the wine is aged for two or three years in French and American oak barrels and frequently racked to avoid filtration. After bottling, the wine is cellared for at least one additional year or until maturity is reached.
