2007 La Vita Classic Italian Red Blend 750ml 2-Pack

La Vita is Bargetto Winery's finest wine and represents their family’s Italian heritage. Composed of Dolcetto, Nebbiolo and Refosco, this garnet colored, full-bodied wine is muscular and powerful, yet will gently unveil concentrated flavors with age. The appearance of the 2007 La Vita is a deep garnet on the edges moving to a lovely purple in the middle of the glass. The aroma profile of this La Vita has dried cherries for the fruit and earthy aromas of spicy black pepper and a touch of cedar. The palate starts with an explosive abundance of cherries and plum. This fruit balances with Northern Italian acidity and big, rich tannins. This wine is made to be consumed with good food and better friends. It will stand up to cellaring for at least 10 years.

“LA VITA wine is our finest effort in winemaking, from growing the grapes, to producing the wine to designing the unique package." – John Bargetto

Each year a release party is held to unveil the new label design. Part of the proceeds from the sale of La Vita goes to a non–profit organization in Santa Cruz County. The Bargetto Family is pleased to be able to, in a formal way, give back some of the proceeds to the Santa Cruz community, which has been so supportive to them and their winery through the years.

LA VITA meets the world in a brand new package that showcases wine in art. For thousands of years wine has been an integral part of life in western civilization economically, religiously and perhaps most importantly, aesthetically. Part of the wonderful legacy of wine is that down through the ages, wine has been proudly portrayed in art, from the Egyptians to the present day. With the dawn of this new millennium, LA VITA SERIES, each year will showcase one masterpiece in which wine has been portrayed.
