Description:
This petite Pinot Noir vineyard is trained on a vertical trellis system with the fruit hanging just 24 inches above the ground. The vines are densely spaced at 2,ooo vines per acre and thinned between two and three pounds of fruit per vine. These practices all insure even ripening and mature fruit character in the wine. The grapes are picked at about 25 degrees brix to ensure ripe fruit flavors. The grapes are hand selected during harvest by Carolyn Martinelli, who walks through the vineyard tasting the grapes and then deciding which rows are ready to pick according to the developed mature flavors in the berries.
The wine is fermented with wild yeast in 75% new French oak, and encouraged to fully complete malo-lactic fermentation. The grapes are 100% barrel fermented with wild yeast, are unfined, unfiltered, neither cold nor heat stabilized and contain naturally occurring sediment. We recommend decanting or allowing the bottle to sit upright in a cool place prior to serving. Email Martinelli | (ph) 800.346.1627 | (fx) 707.525.WINE
