Alisos, Wine Details
Price: $22.00 per bottle

Description: More than simply a blend of Sangiovese and Merlot, Alisos is Palmina’s signature wine. The intent and extreme focus of this blend is to create a wine with style, concentration and structure using many of the techniques of the Veneto region of Italy. Since the very first days of Palmina in 1995, this wine has been produced from Sangiovese and Merlot. Beginning in 2001, the wine has been crafted from grapes from a single vineyard source - the Alisos vineyard located in the rolling hills near the town of Los Alamos, California. The steep south-facing hills, low yields, cool growing conditions, and meticulous farming of the vineyard have produced fruit that is superb. A reflection of our love of the Amarone style of winemaking, our 2004 Alisos showcases the fantastic balance between the characteristics of Sangiovese and Merlot. We also feel the 2004 Alisos is a wonderful expression of the singular soil in which the grapes were grown.
