Ah, 2012. Seems so long ago.

2012 was one of the four most recent years in the history of mankind. You may not remember what happened because it was a while ago, and you were probably busy. Here's a recap:

  • Queen Elizabeth celebrated her Diamond Jubilee, marking 60 years of her serving as the British equivalent of the Philly Phanatic.
  • Lonesome George, a Pinta Island Tortoise, died. He was the last of his species. Happy Friday!
  • Felix Baumgartner fell out of a spacecraft to prove that he really likes Red Bull.
  • Scientists created the first bionic melon.
  • The world ended, just like those people who misunderstood the Mayan calendar said it would!
  • Encyclopaedia Britannica finally discontinued printing, leaving millions of people wondering what they’ll reach for now when they want to squash a bug.
  • CERN discovered a new particle that may confirm the existence of Higgs boson, but it didn’t host the Golden Globes so nobody cared.
  • Usain Bolt ran so fast he reversed time. CERN is now using him in the Large Hadron Collider.
  • The Giants beat the Patriots at Super Bowl XLVI, and everybody was very, very happy about that.
  • There was a viral campaign that went Google on YouTube.

Winemaking
At Trattore Estate Wines, we are fortunate to have 30-year veteran winemaker Kerry Damskey at the helm. Kerry brings a wealth of experience allowing us incredible consistency in our wines. He is equally adept in the vineyard making the decision to pick or at the blending table as we finalize the wines before they head to bottle.
 
Under Kerry’s hand, yields in the vineyard are kept extremely low. All our fruit is handpicked in “micro picks” at the height of ripeness. Micro picking involves evaluating each row of vines individually in search of the ripest fruit. If a row or even and individual vine is not fully ripe, it is skipped. Fruit does not make it into the winery unless it has reached its optimal maturity.
 
In the cellar Kerry brings a winemaking practice entrenched in tradition. He uses small bins for micro control of each lot of grapes as well as open top fermenters and punch downs by hand to ensure full extraction of color and flavor from the fruit. This attention to detail comes through in each bottle of our wine.
 
Our Vineyards
Our Estate vineyards are picturesquely located on a hilltop on the eastern side of Dry Creek Valley in northern Sonoma County. With commanding views of Geyser Peak and Mount St. Helena to the east and the entire Dry Creek Valley to the west, the combination of steep terrain, stone-strewn soils, cool ocean influence and warm summer days provides perfect growing conditions for our vines. Much like the Côtes du Rhône region of France, these diverse soils produce luscious fruit from grape varieties including Grenache, Syrah, Mourvédre, Viognier, Marsanne, Roussanne and Dry Creek Valley’s most popular grape variety, Zinfandel, as well as another favorite, Petite Sirah. This beautiful 40 acre ranch is sustainably farmed and tended to by hand in 10 distinct blocks based on the specific soil, exposure, slope, vine age and type. Each block is individually managed throughout the growing season to ensure the health of each vine. At harvest, we do something known as micro picks: tasting and then hand picking vine by vine, skipping rows if necessary, in search of the ripest fruit. Ultimately, our goal is to preserve the essence of the fruit that goes into our wines for optimum flavor profiles.
