This rare find, small production Dolcetto grown from a one acre single vineyard in Ojai, California. This 2017 california Italian wine is Ojai Pacific View's inaugural vintage. This wine has aromas of fresh plums, notable acidity to balance out the fruitiness and rustic tannins.
Another indegenous variety to try from Friuli like this Ribolla Gialla is the Vigna Petrussa | Friulano | Natural Wine | White.
The North Eastern Italian indigenous Ribolla Gialla grapes transform into an elegant white wine that is excellent as aperitif and pairs divinely with starters and fish-based dishes. This Ribolla Gialla is a great way for Pinot Grigio lovers to step out of the box, and its floral flavors with a mineral finish add a fine touch to this fresh and juicy white wine.
