Also vinified as a charming rosé. Marked quality revival in Salento and the province of Brindisi (Puglia) among modern winemakers. Italian autochthonous variety from Puglia, nearly extinct then recently rediscovered.

The wine region of Fort Ross-Seaview
AVA of 27,500 acres (2011) on the extreme west of the Sonoma Coast, perched above the Pacific fog layer on rugged relief: 500 planted acres produce some of Sonoma's most sought-after Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Pinot is airy and complex with cherries and spices; Chardonnay taut and mineral; Pinotage as a secondary signature. Blend of sunshine, Pacific cool and vine stress on varied soils - the True Sonoma Coast identity for cool-climate haute couture.
The wine region of California
Powerful, sunny reds: dense Napa Cabernet Sauvignon (blackcurrant, chocolate, tobacco, ample tannins), spicy, jammy Zinfandel from the Sierra Foothills, silky red-fruited Pinot Noir on the cool coast (Sonoma, Russian River, Central Coast). Opulent, buttery Chardonnay, notes of yellow fruit and vanilla. Varied climate, from the hot interior to the Pacific-cooled coast. 80% of US production, 139 AVAs including Napa (1st AVA, 1981).
The word of the wine: Density per hectare
Number of vines per hectare. For the same yield, a vine planted with 3,000 vines per hectare bears many more bunches (per vine) than a vine planted with 10,000. The grapes will therefore be less rich in sugar and polyphenols (tannins, aromas...).
