Varietal(s): Ribolla Gialla, Busalacchi Vineyard in Clements Hills AVA
Vineyard Management: Organically farmed by Dwight Busalacchi and his wife. Ribolla was planted in 2015, so we're excited to see how these plantings evolve over time.
Winemaking: Non-intervention, Spontaneous Fermentation, Unfined/Unfiltered
Vegan: Yes
Typicity: Typical for Ribolla Gialla, a grape that usually sees skin maceration in Slovenia and in Northern Italy's Friuli.
Bio: Chris Miller’s foray into low intervention Californian wine has been really exciting to watch evolve.
His commitment to transparency and championing lesser known grapes and growing sites is a breath of fresh air in what sometimes feels like the same ole’ same-old from California.
This Ribolla Gialla is macerated on skins, for just a bit, giving this white a boost in texture that we feel is how all Ribolla should be made. Big fans.
