Californian AVA north of the Golden Gate (~80 ha, Pacific to the west, San Francisco and San Pablo bays to the south-east, one of California's coolest, persistent fogs): Pinot Noir is the signature red — vibrant natural acidity, moderate alcohol, wild berries and vivid cherry, concentrated complexity preserved by slow ripening. Precise Chardonnay as complement, mild winters and a long season highlighting finesse in the cool marine climate.
Powerful, fruity reds with a deep ruby robe, supple but present tannins and fresh acidity, showing intense aromas of black cherry, blackberry, plum, violet, sweet spices, liquorice and balsamic notes. Round, generous palate, approachable young. Also in luscious rosés. Absolute star of Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC, Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo DOC (rosé) and Colline Teramane DOCG, pillar of the Marche (Conero DOCG). Autochthonous Abruzzo variety, one of the most planted in Italy.
