2022 Malbec

GOLD MEDAL 2022 Great American International Wine Competition

Barbera is the most popular varietal in the Piemonte region of Italy. In Italian, Piemonte  means “foot of the mountain.” Fittingly, Barbera also thrives in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada in El Dorado County CA. This Barbera was sourced entirely from the Sierra Foothills AVA near Placerville. After hand-harvesting, sorting and destemming, the grapes were brought to San Diego to vinify. Aged 24 months in neutral French oak barrels.

Deep ruby and very low tannin. Super fruity red currant joins Rainier cherry and ripe blackberry for a full bodied crowd pleaser.

Pair with charcuterie, margherita pizza , ricotta stuffed shells, buffalo mozzarella
