An Orange wine that defies expectation
Exotic aromas of creamsicle, mango, gooseberry, jasmine and Ceylon tea. The texture is soft and supple with a subtle tannic structure. The palate follows the aromas, with the addition of marmalade and white pepper.
Paso Robles is one of the most diverse AVAs in California and it's great to have found a producer who is not only unique in the region but also a rarity in the state.Giornata wines are beautifully made and come with a simple and genuine story. Brian and Stephanie Terrizzi have spent the last decade proving that California can make both interesting and high quality Italian varietal wines. Brian is the winemaker whilst Stephanie is the viticulturist - both trained at Fresno State University. After several years in Tuscany working and living with Brian's family, they returned to Paso Robles to embark on their Giornata project.
The latest vintage contains three varieties (Falanghina, Vermentino and Fiano)
The white grapes are fermented on skins in fermenters for 14-21 days. The wine is gently filtered by cross-flow stability and polish. Only native yeast are used with no nutrient addition. Only 1400 cases of this wine were produced.
Pairs well with Korean dishes with fermented kimchi, Lamb tagine or spicy shoulder. Also great with aubergine and walnut sauce .
