Discover the grape variety: Pirobella
Simple, light fruity reds with a lightly coloured clear ruby robe, supple tannins and a light palate with moderate acidity, featuring undemonstrative aromas of red fruits. Rustic, discreet profile. Preserved in a few ampelographic collections for its heritage value, it is an ancient variety whose commercial spread has virtually disappeared, studied for its genetic interest. Rare, poorly documented black variety grown in confidential quantities.

The wine region of Madera
Central California AVA (Central Valley, Madera and Fresno counties, ~230,000 acres, 1984): Muscat the white signature for fortified and dessert wines in Port style — Zinfandel, Grenache, Syrah, Chenin Blanc, Chardonnay, French Colombard and Merlot as signatures in bulk and quality reds and whites — rich and concentrated signature profile. ~10% of California's grape production. Flat fertile alluvial loam soils, hot arid climate, mild winters, river moderation.
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...).
