Description:
Rarely has a wine captured the imagination of the Dooniverse as has the 2002 La Violetta. One could chalk it up to the highly tatted community of Santa Cruz or the exquisite label. More likely it is the fact that the wine is delicious to the max and quite unlike anything in the California canon. This third vintage of troia is from a very successful vintage in Puglia, on the southern Adriatic coast of Italy. The 2002 season was quite warm in this part of the world, and the grapes benefited from the pergola trellising system employed for much of the crop, which helps to keep the microclimate under the canopy relatively cool. We have continued our work with microbullage with this variety to great effect. The wine seems to have greater texture and creaminess, while retaining its unmistakable southern Italian character – as well as its potent violet fragrance – and avoiding the indignities of internationalism and the ravages of the new wood order.
