- Terroir: Venturi Vineyard, Calpella, Mendocino County; dry-farmed (non-irrigated), certified organic vineyard; Pinole gravelly loam soils.
- Vinification: Direct-to-press Vermentino (and a few clusters of Sauvignon blanc) first settled overnight and then racked off gross juice lees to ferment and age on fine lees in a 1200L stoneware jarre for 6 months. This jarre is crafted from sandstone and fired at over 2,300 degrees Fahrenheit, creating a much tighter porosity compared to wood and an aging environment that further showcases the bright and fresh varietal expression. Unfined. Unfiltered. Sediment expected.
- Tasting Note: In 2022 this sun-loving Sardinian grape got tangled up in a harvest fling with aromatic Sauvignon blanc. We aged this co-ferment on fine lees in our stoneware jarre for just six months. Expect a refined body with uplifted aromatics.
