Varietals
85% Bonarda Piemontese, 15% Barbera

Notes
VINEYARD: Finca Maggio, a 3 acre vineyard on alluvial soil at 4,920 asl, and planted in 1950.

VINIFICATION: Following the manual harvest and native yeast ferment, the wine spent 8 months on its lees in concrete egg. It is unfined/unfiltered.

PRESS/RATINGS: This hand harvested wine is a blend of Bonarda and Barbera from a single vineyard in the Calingasta Valley. The wine predominantly shows notes of strawberry syrup, almond, and cocoa with secondary notes of walnuts, cranberry, and baking spices. The palate is rich with red fruits and strong tannins that lead to a full bodied finish. 92 Points, Vinous
