Credo sbaglio ho avuto il "influenza adulto" in vaschetta, ambasciatore. Chiedo scusa.
I believe I accidentally had the "adult flu" in your birdbath, Ambassador. I apologize.

Tua sorella? Chi sapeva?

Uh-oh. Non mi sento bene. Dov'è la vaschetta più vicino?

2008 Rosso Di Sonoma 750ml 4-Pack
Sweet ripe blackberry, black cherry, fruit cake spices, vanilla, caramel and floral notes flood the senses with a hint of citrus zest and cedar in the background. The ripe flavors are balanced nicely with tangy acidity and subdued tannins which keep this wine dense, fresh and easy to drink.
Vineyards: The cast of characters for our blend are gathered together from our Estate Vineyards high in the western side of the Mayacamas Mountains. The rich volcanic soils and high elevations of our Cavedale Road Vineyard impart power and dimension to our Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. The main character of this ensemble is the Syrah, which is grown at a 2000 foot elevation in our Trinity Ranch block (known for loamy soil conditions). This gives our Syrah grapes a rich earthiness that balances the jazzy Cavedale Road fruit. The result is a joyous rhapsody that will ring harmoniously on the palate.

Winemaking Techniques: For optimum flavor, we delicately hand-harvested the grapes from low yielding vines in the cool early mornings. Wasting no time, the fruit was brought straight back to the winery to be destemmed, crushed and transferred immediately to stainless steel tanks. After periods of cold soaking and warm fermentation, this was followed by an extended maceration of four to six weeks. The wine was then pressed to 100% French oak barrels (composed of almost entirely used wood) and left to mature for 18 months before being selected for the Rosso blend.

Our winery sits on ‘Poggio alla Pietra’ or ‘land of rocks’ under the family home, sequestered in the vast cellar nestled in the hillside. A true mark of what a boutique winery entails; it is a converted garage housing a dozen tanks that, year after year, craft traditional wine unique to the Sonoma Valley.
The philosophy at Petroni Vineyards is minimalist while still using only the best equipment available. After our estate grown fruit is harvested, it is quickly transported from the vineyard to the winery and the winemaking process begins. The fruit gently falls into the destemmer by a slow moving conveyor that allows for sorting and quality-control. As the fruit is crushed, it is then fed to various sized tanks selected specifically for the identification and separation of the different lots in the vineyard. This careful and crucial process will later allow for the greatest degree of control as we aim to blend the best possible wines in any given year.
