Barbera 2021

Our oldest block of Barbera is on the East side of Home Ranch, planted in 1997 with a cutting from an old vine Pifferro Vineyard block in Mendocino where the family had sourced fruit. This typically produces a fruit forward, deep colored wine which is soft in structure and rounder in midpalate. The second block was planted in 2008 at the base of Rattlesnake Hill on the West side of the ranch and is planted to a clone from Asti, Piemonte. This exhibits deep concentration, deep purple hue and high acidity and a more structured mouthfeel.
