The wine region of Rhode Island
Smallest US state (New England), included in the Southeastern New England AVA, temperate maritime climate moderated by the Atlantic, 180-day growing season. Chardonnay is the signature white king: fresh and straight with green apple, pear, citrus, white flowers and a briny mineral touch, vibrant Atlantic acidity. Taut Riesling and aromatic Vidal hybrid as whites. Spiced Cabernet Franc and airy Pinot Noir as cool-climate reds.
The word of the wine: Free-run wine
The free-run wine is the wine that flows out of the vat by gravity at the time of running off. The marc soaked in wine is then pressed to extract a rich and tannic wine. Free-run wine and press wine are then aged separately and eventually blended by the winemaker in proportions defined according to the type of wine being made.
